And it will all fit

The Corsair CX600w power supply and the 7750 are both nice upgrades that should fit nicely into your hp case,Congrats on the future upgrade.

Question this is my current spec.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03363664&prodSeriesId=5187022

Would it be possible for me to mount the 7750 in to the PCI-E x 16 slot and not have to upgrade my PSU right away?

I think it will work , that card doesn't draw much power.

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 16, 2013

why not the parts i told u they will surely fit too and they are nore perfrming

nick91mueller · Aug 16, 2013

Sn1992-1361850 :

The PSU in my HP Case is 5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4

The Corsair 600w is 5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4

The OCZ you recommended is 5.9" x 3.4" x 6.3"

So yes it may fit but i would rather have something i know is going to fit right into place then risk damaging my case, or being unable to use the PSU i spent money on.

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 16, 2013

it will surely fit its just a lil longer

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 16, 2013

It's too long and bunches all the cables up , get the CX600.Those cases aren't meant for longer PSU's.

Ok, Now i have a couple more questions that came to mind.

1.) Will my Bios, AMI 7.23 for the Holly Motherboard, be able to use the PCI-E x16 slot, because i read somewhere that the Bios might not let me put anything in that slot.

2.) How would i switch off the 6530 in favor of the 7750, because according to http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=797&gid2=489&compare=radeon-hd-7750-1gb-gddr5-vs-radeon-hd-6530d the 7750 is a 55 watt card where the 6530 is a 64 watt card and having that extra 9 watt head room would make me not worry so much

Should not be an issue.

BIOS shouldn't stop you.
