I wouldn't risk it. Technically it will work though.

You shouldn't though. The computer has an APU and you generally never add a GPU to an APU. You should be looking at an i3 or fx-6300 system to put that in. not an APU based system.

Still, it will not really play games. It will struggle even on lowest settings. It is more for HD videos and adding video to a system without it.

Sorry to sound stupid - but what is the problem with dropping the graphics card in? Why would it indicate it supports PCIe cards if it shouldn't?

I was primarily concerned about the power draw

Thanks!

GT 630 struggle on lowest settings? you know what your saying? GT 630 can play crysis 3 online at medium or high with his current CPU even BF3 it can take on ultra around 18-20 FPS.

'Steady FPS" indicates 60. 18-20 is nowhere near playable. 10-15fps behind playable atleast.

It is a VERY low end card.

The whole point of an APU is that it has built in GPU which is half-decent. The CPU itself isn't that great (hence having a better GPU built in.)

You want an i3 or fx-6300 system to add that card to. But at 1080p that system will only play games at low settings.
