Haxor Gaming Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hello, I want to help my friend with upgrading his computer. I set a budget of $250 (Price of an Xbox One S in USD) to buy a graphics card, a case and a power supply. The current computer that he has is: http://www.pcm.com/p/Lenovo-Desktop-Computers/product~dpno~40081053~pdp.baddidai. I would like to know if I can fit the I/O shield on standard Mid-Towers or will have to DIY one. Here is the PCPP of the suggested components. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g96x7h //EDIT He has everything else, Monitor Peripherals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 50/50, It's hard to know whether or not the I/O plate will fit, but you don't need one if it doesn't anyway, you also don't need a new cooler. HOWEVER, it looks like there is a bigger problem (or two), first off, the motherboard isn't a standard mITX board, so there's a good chance it won't fit in the case, and secondly, it doesn't use the standard 24-pin ATX power cable for the motherboard (so you would need a 24-pin to 14 pin adapter).

Haxor Gaming Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Would it be a better idea just to get another motherboard for the 4460S that he has currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it might end up being cheaper to try and sell that system in its entirety and to just build something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
