Lenovo H520E WTF!

I need to know if my motherboard is compatible with the GeForce GTX 970 and the 256gb 849-series EVO Samsung SSD.

And if the PSU wattage is enough.

 

Lenovo doesn't make the h520e model anymore so I've struggled with finding information.

I've opened the PC up but I can't access the PSU safety cage nor does it say what kind of motherboard it is.

Not even the BIOS gives me information on these parts.

 

Any help greatly appreciated. 

 

EDIT: Sorry for picking the wrong subsection, thanks for moving ^^

The SSD should be fine, the 970 not so much, I doubt the power supply is enough, and from a listing I saw on ebay it seems you only have a PCIe 1x slot which is not enough for a 970. Also all the CPU's that Lenovo made that computer with are really weak and would not be a good match for a 970.

Desktop: i9 11900k, 32GB DDR4, 4060 Ti 8GB 🙂

Nope, folks here at Linus told me that the i5-3350P 3.10GHz is totally fine...

The motherboard however... Hm, disappointment. :3
