Upgrading graphics card


Hello, I want to upgrade my graphics card but I’m kinda new to it. Right now I have the intel UHD graphics (standard, onboard, integrated) and want to put the RTX 3050 in but don’t know at what place. I’ve looked at videos and think it have to be at place 1 or 2 ( see photo)

If someone can tell me I would very much appreciate it.

    Hello johngreen1209, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

    1 is where your graphics card (GPU) goes, 2 is RAM 🙂

    Make sure your PSU is powerful enough to take the new GPU & that you have the cables, which looking at the 24-pin, your PSU will be non-modular. If you’re not sure on the PSU, depending on the case, you might be able to see the label from the front, but if not, remove your rear side panel.

    edit: graphics card (GPU)
