From what I can tell on the MSI website, there are different models of the MSI Aegis 3. I saw one PSU with an output of 450 Watts. That's not great for a gaming build.

Most pre-builts have cheap power supplies. A lot of newer graphics cards require at least a 500W PSU.

If you provide the dimensions of your current GPU, it would help.

If he upgrades to that 1080, he will not have enough power at 450W. That said, he can upgrade the PSU.

Current GPU: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/637353/m...ificaties/

The Zotac 1080 I linked earlier is even smaller. How many watts is your current PSU?
