The HP Pavilion p6-2429 only have a 300 psu and the quality isn't the best so i don't think you can add on a graphics card.
Should I upgrade it to 400W?
Beware of HP desktops. Many of them use a custom PSU and are incompatible with a standard ATX PSU design. If you have an opportunity to open the system up before you buy, make sure you check for this.
As for the system itself, the AMD APU's are not known for their raw performance. I see you're on a pretty tight budget. Do you currently own the Radeon 6670?
No, planning on buying it 2 weeks from now, I just don't want to near the date and buy it for no reason. (http://amzn.to/17F50hh Radeon 6670 DDR5) If you have any other computer suggestions feel free.
What are you currently using now as your PC?
A laptop. Not really useful for gaming and cant upgrade much. :/
I see. I generally would try to avoid a PC made by the larger OEM companies, ie Dell, HP and so on. They generally use parts that are engineered specifically for their product. It's usually of low quality and restricted in some way. For example it's nearly impossible to overclock. My recommendation is you turn to a system builder for your needs. Even a low end custom PC will at least have off the shelf components. The wire management may not be top notch but it won't be any worse than an OEM. This way you get most of the benefits of building it yourself without actually doing so.
I realize you're on tight budget but if you can save a little more, even if it means waiting a month or so, it's worth it. Buying respectable tech will last you a lot long and provide better upgrade paths should decide to imbue your machine with additional power down the road.
What resolutions do you intend to game at?
