Query about a future Upgrade :- About "CHEAP" PSU's

5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/query-about-a-future-upgrade-about-cheap-psus.140066/

First of all, let me disclose my System Specs:- :-(

AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
ASUS M2968 AM PLUS
XFX ATI HD 4350
Iball i612 New (Bundled with the crap PSU) :!:

Now, I am planning on an Upgrade in few months or so. I want to upgrade to a proper GPU(maybe 5770 or something close) and change this PSU also..to FSP Saga 500W or something similar....

Now the questions that arises are:-
1. Can my Motherboard handle the new GPU?
2. Can I Change this PSU which came with the Cabinet without changing the cabinet??
It is because all of these products are just 8 months old, and I also face no problem what so-ever. But I'm planning to change the PSU to avoid damage of all the products.. But I don't wanna change the Cabinet...

Thanks for reading... :wink:

1. It can handle any GPU
2. You can always try as the PSU's and cabinets are made in standard dimensions.If it doesnt fit, change the cabinet ;-)

Thanks for the quick reply. Will keep it in mind.

Well, is there a way to know the dimensions of the PSU Slot and then match it up with the ones that I"ll buy? :?:

Yup,
measure the dimension of current PSU and compare it with SAGAII 500W. IMO it will fit.

ther r two types of psu mainly :-
1)normal size
2)bigger size(these r mainly 1000w+ ones)
