yes slot it in add power (as most decent ones will need additional power)
and reinstall drivers
But decent ones arent cheap (think £200+)

You've been absolutely had there that's not a gaming PC, nvidia 730 will run video but not a single game in the past 10/15 year or so

Graphics cards aren't cheap like. Then factor in the possibility of having to upgrade PSU etc, can be a right pain in the arse

I'm guessing it's an ancient i5 as well, is the ram ddr3 or ddr4

common occurance, people add a RGB keyboard and a old graphics card to a ex office machine and then sell them on as a gaming bundle when really they are not suitable for it at all.
You could add better GPU but the other components will probably bottleneck it. It will help run some older and more basic games like roblox, maybe fortnite at a push. I would have a look at the likes of a rx580 from CEX for no more than £100.
Cex are over priced but they do tend to offer a decent warrenty iirc

You can make it considerably better but there's a few things to consider, first the space inside the case, proper graphics cards are huge and then you'll probably need to upgrade the PSU as well.
Yep, eBay is full of themcommon occurance, people add a RGB keyboard and a old graphics card to a ex office machine and then sell them on as a gaming bundle when really they are not suitable for it at all.

Theres one from sunderland whos been really prolific on the likes of facebook market place and gumtree etc selling these "ultra fast lag free gaming PCs" when they are clearly not but unfortunately there are allot of people who dont know about them. Really annoys me and facebook and gum tree dont seem to do anything about them.

To answer a few questions at once.
This is it Fast Gaming PC Bundle: Intel Quad Core i5 / 16GB RAM / 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD / GT730 2GB / Windows 10 / Dual Monitor 22" / Tornado https://amzn.eu/d/gY3W9ri
Runs GTA 5 and Fortnite no bother but bought Hogwarts from Steam and it told me to pi** ERF.
I've obviously been had so just trying to make it better for the bairn.

Mate I would try and send it back, that's basically a 10-12 year old processor and some ancient ram, the motherboard will also be ancient and won't accept much better graphics. I wouldn't bother trying to upgrade it personally. Sorry

There’s only 3 reviews on there and this one is obviously a fake…
Review on Amazon: Great Gaming bundle https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/revi...apin_dprv_446KQ9EXW8WAVEE1SJ2J&language=en_US
9 of the 12 items they’ve reviewed are for gaming bundles. I’d chance my luck and try to get Amazon to accept the return. Send them that review as part of the request.
100% send it back, Amazon will back you. Then take advice on here and grab a much better deal. You will end up scrapping most of that and replacing anyway.

Tosh spec, unfortunately.
Unsuitable for purpose and poor reviews.

I hate to say it mate but I’d keep the case and get everything else from scratch.
