Me with my gtx 550 ti 😢

no need to change psu..... you can run a 1650 off the original as the cards all pull their 75w from the slot......

pulled the sata out of the drive as its above the rail........

i own a Optiplex 3020 mini tower and i cant use the ssd without the hard drive i gotta use both can anyone tell me why or help me

i have a question can you use a EVGA 220-G5-0750-X1 Super Nova 750 G5 for the dell optiplex 3020 mini tower

this is the only reason why prebuild suck, so we can upgrade them. lot of love.

can you add a ssd and a hdd?

my power supply doesnt have a 4 pin for the top left part of the motherboard. why?
what else can i do

Hello compliments for your videos very helpful! I have a question why didn't you power the hdd and optical drive from the psu? You use the sata cable from the mobo, there is a reason I have upgraded my psu to a full modular antec, waiting for the adapter, and I was thinking to do that. Thanks in advance

What is the highest gb video card this will support

wait what about the OS, since you removed the hdd

I got a corsair vs 550 and it doesn't seem ro have a 4 pin that fits this motherboard? Is it proprietary? Would an 8 pin to 4 pin work? Thanks

the port for gpu of that pc model is pci-express 2.0 or 3.0?

Hi I was wondering what graphics card I could use it if I don't upgrade the psu ? ( optiflex 3020 )

He talks like Joe from from family guy

What are some other power supplies that would work with this motherboard

You probably didn't need a new power supply if the only upgrade was a low power graphics card. I had 280 w power supply and added a 1650 (low power) and extra sdds and it was still enough power. However it will help with future upgrades.

Can i connect my video card gtx 750 Ti? without changing my power supply?

I'm stuck away from my home pc for a while due to quarantine so I've been cluelessly assembling one of these (I ended up putting a 1650 super in it despite the slight bottleneck and it's been pretty great). This was a genuinely mega useful, straight to the point guide, thanks dude.
