I have a Really cheap PC Its a Hp DC7600 Small Form Factor its a very basic PC my problem is it has a 240 watt Power Supply, one of the only Card that i found that is small enough for it is a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GT610 1GB DDR3 PCI-E Video Card. It said it need a minimum 300 watts but I looked on the GeForce site for this card and it said Maximum Graphics Card Power 29 Watts. So let me know if you guys will think this will work.

Thank you

you need to make sure the GPU is low profile. Yes it will work then but you may need to remove the 2port pci riser card which was optional on that unit to get access to the pciex16 slot.

That system would run up to a low profile 7750 ($100 to $140)

edit - also please make sure the gt610 is capable of doing what you want it to do. Its extremely weak to try and use it for gaming for instance but makes a decent htpc or business card. The 7750 is about 5 times more powerful and it is considered to be near the bottom of the gaming class of cards.
