The CPU of your computer is too weak and HP does not list the power supply specifications (I'm assuming that is because the power supply is too weak as well). You cannot upgrade the CPU to the FX line (motherboard does not support FX CPUs, only supports AM2 CPUs), and trying to use that cpu (Athlon 64 x2 2.0GHz) with a GTX 650 TI video card would be a waste. You need a new PC.
