I am planning to pair this graphics card with this prebuilt, is it compatible?

[MyUsernameDis]

I bought a prebuilt about a year ago just for school and I am planning on pairing it with a graphics card which I am not sure will work

I have asked this question in reddit where i got a few answers saying it will work and some saying it wont because of the wattage requirement so can anyone help me?
Card : https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Profile-Graphic-02G-P4-6333-KR/dp/B071LGVBDM?th=1 (I am planning to pair it with this because my budget is about 100$ which i can add a bit more to so if it isnt compatible can someone recommend me some which can work out maybe?)

Yes, It will work just fine. Just make sure to get it a decent price.

A GT 1030 has about the lowest wattage requirements out there.

 

I just hope you're not spending over $100 on the graphics card because it's just not worth it to invest a lot of money in a setup like this.

Maybe look at the used market.

Not really, but spending no money now is better than spending too much money now. You don't want to get nickel and dimed out of a proper gaming computer in the future.

 

You do have options though. You can sell a computer like that for maybe $150 when the time is right, and use the money to fund a new PC. You can lift the CPU, hard drive, and ram, and build a new system using them (but that would likely result in you disposing of the rest of the parts which I don't encourage)
