Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card and I've ordered an MSI RTX 4060 GAMING 8G for about $389. I have a budget of around $515-$520 total, enough to cover the card and some minor expenses. My current PC specs are as follows:
- Motherboard: MSI B560M PRO-E
- CPU: i5-11400F
- Current GPU: MSI GTX 1650 D6 VENTUS XS OCV3
- RAM: 2x 8GB DDR4 2666
- Storage: 1TB SATA SSD and 1TB HDD WD BLUE
- Power Supply: 450W
- Monitor: 60HZ 1080P.
My question is, what do I need to upgrade to ensure that the new graphics card works properly?

Honestly, you don't need to change much. If your current GPU is running fine, the new one should fit right in without issues. You won't need any upgrades unless your power supply is really lacking.
You could sell your GTX 1650 for about $50-$60 to help with costs. The RTX 4060 is efficient and shouldn't pose any power supply problems, so you should be set!
Thanks for the tip!
As long as your power supply has an 8-pin GPU/VGA connector, you should be good to go with your upgrade!
Ok, thanks for the info!
So just the GPU then? I was worried the power supply might be an issue.
