  1. 1. Should I stick with just GPU and PSU or do some other upgrading?

I am looking to add a GTX 750ti to my prebuilt. I know I will most likely need a new PSU but I am questionable about the other parts. My Pre-Built is a ASUS Desktop PC M32BF_K30BF Series with a AMD10-6700 APU. All suggestions on this will be helpful. Thanks!

IMO I'd get a better processor AND the GPU at the same time. Or processor/GPU first then the other second. What power supply is currently in your system?

PC: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8GHz | EVGA RTX 2060 SUPER | MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon | G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB @ 3200MHz C14 | EVGA G3 650W

 

Laptop: 2023 Macbook Pro 16" - M2 Max | 64GB RAM | 1TB SSD

I have the sketchy psu that was included with the system

Yeeaaahhh you need to get a new power supply.

 

How many watts does your system use at load?

How would I see the # of watts I am using? I already know how to stress test, BTW.

Try going to PCPartPicker and put all of your PC's parts in on the list. There should be the wattage on the top part of the menu.

Without the Optical Drive and Motherboard because I couldn't find them, it is about 107w.

Get the Seasonic S12II 520. I know the wattage is way higher than yours, but it'll help with those upgrades. Plus it's a really great power supply :)
