@redxps630​ will any other gpus work like a gtx 1660 super or gtx 1650 or 1660 in low profile version?

it is better to use rtx 3000-4000 series gpu to match 14th gen cpu.  get a 460w psu is worth it than stick in an old gpu.

i5-12400 + RTX3050

if you only install nvme ssd, no hdd, 300w psu is ok

even with the dvd included

is it possible it is actually a 3910 and not 3030?  they look identical on the outside except for logo of back IO panel.
