Hey,

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5306uk: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Docume...

The graphics aren't what I would like them to be. I'd like my pc to be able to run games like guild wars 2.

I have done a bit of research & I know that I need to buy another power supply, I was thinking these 2 products...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-GeForce-Graphics-Express-D...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ERD0W4/ref=olp_p...

but I don't know if they will fit, if i need anything else to run it properly, so any help would be amazing.

Thank you

ur processor is very weak and would bottleneck any decent modern gpu's.the psu is very very more than enough.
Anything above gt630 would be a bottleneck and for the psu to be future proofed go eith the corsair CX500W
get these and you would be fine:
1.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-GeForce-Graphics-Express-D...
2.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-S...


I notice that the GT630 link you provided me has 1gb of ram, and the one i linked had 2gb, what difference does this make? and would it still work on my pc?

2gb ddr3 and even 4gb ddr3 is much slower than 1gb ddr5.and it will work on your pc and this is the best u can get as ur cpu will badly bottleneck if go some higher
