Upgrading the Lenovo H530s with a new SSD, GPU and PSU
(Links to Items In Description)
In this video, I Upgrade my Lenovo H530s:
I Install a new Kingston 120GB SSD,
A New NVidia GTX 750 Ti Low Profile Graphics Card,
And Replacing the Power Supply with a new 500w Power Supply.

Dude thanks for this literally just upgraded my aging Lenovo 10131/h530s to 16gb Ram, SSD, power and geforce gtx 1050ti you recommend now have a 1080p/4k powerhouse everything now running in high/ultra settings thanks again, tested on SFV, TEKKEN 7 and Resident evil 7
there seems to be a shortage of info on this machine anywhere.....
yo tambien tengo la lenovo 530pero la tarjeta esta viejita y lo cambiare a un macho y potente gtx 750 ti low profile bro
Hello, I recently followed this guide and it worked perfectly. I am upgrading to a non small form factor build so i have the exact power supply in this video if anyone in the UK is struggling to find one. Let me know.
Awesome. Trying to upgrade my lenovo h330 to 8gb and a GT 1030.... and a used PSU because I just cant find one with the same dimensions. It is driving me insane. I will also upgrade to a i52400s.

I have a question. Sorry if the questions sounds naive but do these changes affect your files that are stored on the pc ? Do you have to reinstall every program and put every file back into place? I have the exact same pc and I am thinking of upgrading the graphics card for enhanced performance (I mainly use that pc to store my files and just play games in my spare time. I am tired to have to resort to low resolutions for some programs). Otherwise that video is extremely helpful, thank you a lot.

If your not installing an SSD nothing would change as the HDD were your files are stored would be untouched. Installing an SSD while leaving the files on the old drive is difficult but not impossible as moving the windows directory to another drive can be difficult and I’ve found reinstalling in these cases is the easiest just moving the files you want to keep to an external device.

The CPU is an AMD A10 6700 (4 core), so I was wondering if it's even worth upgrading the card to something as high spec as you have and going for another low power GPU to avoid the power supply upgrade (they look really hard to get hold of). The main problem with that seems to be finding one that's DDR3 and the right size.

It does depend on what you can afford and if it’s within the power budget of the PSU and if that is also going to be upgraded as if you also have an i7 like the one in the video then the GPU and PSU would be the only things that would need upgrading. You can use a PSU calculator to see if you are within power budget. (25-50w should be the minimum that is left from the eating of the PSU)
