Rog G20 change graphics card

Hello,

I have an Asus Rog G20cb 1a with a gtx 950 and I’m wondering if it’s worth upgrading the graphics card or if it’s better to replace the whole thing since the PC is now over 4 years old.

What would you recommend? If I change the graphics card, which card could fit in terms of power supply and size?

Thank you in advance for your advice
Romain

    Hi

    Your PC is pretty well encapsulated, which makes upgrades complicated, but it's still possible since it's still up to date (is it the same one? : https://www.fnac.com/mp27271375/ASUS-ROG-G20CB-FR039T-SFF-Core-i5-6400-2-7-GHz-RAM-8-Go-HDD-1-To-DVD-SuperMulti-GF-GTX-950-GigE-LAN-sans-fil-Bluetooth-802-11ac-Win-10-Familiale-64-bits-moniteur-aucun/w-4 )

    The graphics card is tightly fitted... so yes, I think it's worth changing it, but you need to pay close attention to the dimensions and the power supply as well.

      It's almost that one. I have an i7 and 16GB of RAM. I couldn't find the exact configuration online...

      That's exactly the issue with the power supply and the space in the case that worries me. Considering that I don't really know...
      I saw on a forum where they recommend changing the PC...

      I saw that the GTX 1080 seems pretty good for an upgrade, but at that price, I want to make sure it's compatible. I would probably need to add a power supply.

    The power supply can be an issue, as can the space, as mentioned above.

    If you're not too familiar with it, it's risky to start like this :)

    Thank you for your feedback.

    How can I know if it's feasible to install a GTX 1080 that consumes 200w:
    Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Super Jetstream

    Otherwise, should I change everything????
