Upgrading a PC

[RadioactivePotato]

Hello! I bought a Lenovo H50-50. I was thinking if i can upgrade the GPU to a 750ti or something better. I'm of course going to change the PSU to a 450w. Also, i would like to put an another fan in it. Would it work?

What specs does your exact H50-50 have?

[rafazafar]

750ti works fine with the current PSU also.
Go ahead.

Add an extra 1x4gb ram if u have the budget.  guess u already have 8gb

Then you can add a 750ti or lower with out a psu upgrade but your cpu can handle pretty much any gpu with a psu upgrade.

But if i get a new power supply, i can overclock it?

u can overclock without a power supply change.
Just get a 750ti with no aux power requirement.

If you get a new psu, sure u can use better gpu than 750ti. but even with the current u can already overclock the 750ti.

Ok, thanks for the help. I will probably upgrade to a 450w and a 750ti

Well if you would get a 500-650w now you wouldn't need to upgrade soon.

i would not recommend a 450w, there no point as newer gpu can get quite demanding. 
a good 450w is ok. but a decent 500-550w might be cheaper.
this way u can alteast "future proof" urself up to the likes of r9 290/390 or gtx980ti

if you are on a budget, there really no point upgrading the psu just for the 750ti.
if u are goint to get the 750ti, just get it alone. and wait till u need to upgrade again. u wont get any extra benefit from upgrading now

Then i need to find out if a 960 would fit in  And get a 550w

Before you upgrade your power supply, make sure the 20/24-pin power connector on your motherboard has standard wiring, not proprietary. If it's nonstandard, you can't use a standard PSU, and you're stuck with what you have.

With an i5 4440 you can go as far as an R9 390, depending on your budget.

The strix 960 is a pretty short card. You could spend all of your money to a R9 Nano

maybe u get short itx cards if ur woried. a 550w will be enough for any single gpu card.

the exact model of the psu u currently have should be  FSP28050EPA from FSP.
its a standard ATX.

Does that mean that the PSU is a standard PSU? i was said earlier here that you cant upgrade a non-standard PSU.

Don't buy a CX psu. Get a xfx or a seasonic.
