The GPU would have to be LOW PROFILE & SINGLE SLOT, and under 7" long.
That means no GTX 1050 or 1050ti

It’s a 180w PSU with a single 15A 12V rail, 35w i7-7700T, 1×8gb DDR4, 1 HDD, 1 DVD
Doing the math, I don’t think the PSU would last very long trying to run a RX 460.

I’m thinking I might just return this system and buy/build a different one.
Only got this particular one because it was on sale for $487. I didn’t realize at the time the PSU was so small. (300w flex ATX PSU is about $70)

I think it can handle the RX 460 (unlocked and undervolted a bit)
It’s got a 180w PSU with a 35w CPU.

I was hoping someone with a GT 1030 could give some feedback. I can’t find any info on it with regard to GW2.

System is a HP Slimline 270 w/ i7-7700T and 8GB DDR4-2400 & 1080p monitor

The integrated HD 630 struggles to get 30fps at lowest settings
I’m looking for something that can run smooth at med. settings @ 1920×1080.

I’m limited to a low profile, single slot card with no external power.
The case has room for double width, but only one slot on the rear for mounting.

Is anyone running the GT 1030? Or do I need to step up to the RX 460?
Does a low profile GTX 1050 exist WITHOUT double stacked outputs?
Previous gen alternatives that might be cheaper?
