Hey toms hardware I've used this site quite a bit and finally deciding to make an account to get a further in depth response to my question.

Im currently upgrading my friends computer who I just got into league of legends. Shes having issues with it and Ive came down to the solution that she needs to upgrade her video card and found out to also do that ill need to upgrade her PSU. she only has a 300W power supply and im lookin at these 2 products for a reasonable price fix.
THE QUESTION:
Will these 2 products *video card and PSU* be compatible with the computers MOBO.

Video card: EVGA gefore 8400 GS 1gb pcie x16

Power supply: coolmax ATX 500W

Now for her computer specifications (the motherboard is right at the top)

I want to make sure both the video card and the PSU will fit into it and be compatible. Thank you in advance we really do appreciate it.

It honestly has now only a 300W power supply. So im not 100% sure it will work well with it. shes not much of a gamer as it is and currently uses integrated intel chispet family g33 g31 something similar to that. league would honestly be the most demanding game she plays and it doesn't need to be at all high settings just something to give her the satisfaction of playing the game.

The 8400 GS was a common card that OEMs would put in machines to have a step up from integrated graphics, so I think it would work fine with the HP PSU. For that price you could get something like a Nvidia GT 610. Uses less power and is more powerful than a 8400.
