Hey everyone! I'm considering a Lenovo Ideacentre 510a that comes with an Intel i7 9th Gen, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a 500GB SSD, all for just $150. I'm thinking about upgrading it with a 3060 12GB GPU. Do you think that's a solid plan? Also, I've heard the power supply may not support this GPU. If I need to replace it, what kind of adaptor should I get for the new PSU?

Honestly, I’d be surprised if the power supply in that rig can handle a 3060. They often come with lower wattage PSUs that aren't suitable for high-performance GPUs.
Yeah, definitely not gonna work with the original PSU! I’d recommend grabbing at least a 600W PSU, but just double-check if you need any adaptors for those proprietary connections.
