Open the case and report back what power supply that system has.

If that's the exact model on the Amazon page, I see a couple Q&A posts suggesting it might be a 450 watt EVGA 450 BV, though it's possible they could change between different units depending on what's available. So, it's likely a budget PSU, but one that's probably fine enough for handling something like a GTX 1050 / 1050 Ti, which draw about the same power as the system's existing card, or probably even a GTX 1060.

With only a 450 watt power supply, I'd probably not attempt a GPU upgrade without a PSU upgrade as well. The RX470 isn't too shabby and to make it worth the cost, it would have to be a significant upgrade. Unless your upgrade budget is North of about $450 (GTX1070 + New Power Supply), then I wouldn't bother.

Wolfshadw :

Where are you seeing an RX 470? The page seems to indicate that the system only came with an R7 250 2GB. : P

The link I'm clicking on shows the following:

Oculus Rift 2 Items Starter Bundle:Virtual-Reality VR Headset and CyberPowerPC Ultra VR Gaming Desktop Intel Quad Core CPU 8GB DDR3 1 TB HDD AMD Radeon RX 470

What are you seeing?

In this thread? The link I'm clicking on shows:

CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Ultra GUA3402ACA w/AMD Vishera FX-6300 3.5GHz CPU, 8GB DDR3, AMD R7 250 2GB, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD+-RW & Win 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Desktop PC

I tried it in two different browsers and got the same result. Maybe it's forwarding you to something else due to it being out of stock or something? I guess we should just have them verify what CPU and GPU they actually have.

Bleeping browsers!

Seems in Firefox, I'm getting redirected to a different PC. In IE, I see the PC you're seeing. No idea why, but this is a secondary PC.

Sorry for the confusion.

sorry to bother again.
if i just go for the rx470, i dont need to change anything else, right? (i use ddr3 ram will that need to change?)
or if i go for the GTX 1070 can i just upgrade to that with a new power supply (will a 550w one work.?) without changing anything else?
again im sorry if this is irritating. every time i look this stuff up i get thrown in a circle of logic

The 550 watt PSU should work for a gtx 1070... but I'd be careful. Which GPU is in your system, that link is being wacky.

AMD Radeon R7 250, im looking to replace it

ryzenlover2017 · Aug 23, 2018

ohhhh ok. i'd get a 1050 ti. it'll be a HUGE improvement. That said you could get by with a 1060, and get a used 3gb for 170.
