I currently have a Intel core i5 + 8400 with a gforce gtx1050 Card. I’m wondering if I was to upgrade my graphics card to a gforce rtx 2060 would my computer be able to handle it or would I need to upgrade elsewhere. I’m not sure if I am in the right section for this so correct me if I’m wrong

Welcome to PCHF Aaronmonty2000,
Before purchasing an add on video card the following must be considered;
Is the present PSU (power supply unit) powerful enough or will it also need upgrading, what is the brand and model name or number of the present PSU.
What type of case do you have, full tower, mid tower or SFF (small form factor) this is important as you must make sure that there is enough room inside the case for the upgrade/s, upgrading a SFF type system can be difficult as they often use propriety components such as smaller and differing shape PSUs and they only have enough room inside the case for a low profile type add on card.
