Greetings! I am about to purchase a video card but Im not entirely sure how they work and If my graphics card is compatible with my setup. \
I currently have a mostly stock Hp Pavilion a1720 n http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00837320]
it says it has a Pci express X16 slot and that it's open. The card I am looking to buy is this one
http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Profile-PCI-Express-R6450-MD1GD3-LP/dp/B004X6ABTM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1376000911&sr=8-3&keywords=HD6450]
And so I would like to know if these are compatible (don't worry about power usage) if not I would really appreciate suggestions for something comparable in price/performance that is compatible
Thanks in advance and if there's any other info I need to provide I am more than happy to do so
EDIT: Thanks for all the help! It's been resolved, I appreciate it!
