it has one pci slot so the card would fit. the issue now is will the bios on the mb post with the new card. it should post the only other limit would be the power supply in the rig if it has the wattage needed for the gaming card.

According to here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en...

you have one PCI Express x16 slot open and ready for that graphics card so no problem there.

The other question you need answered is, will your power supply be strong enough to power the new graphics card. How many watts is it, and how many amps does it have on the +12v rail(s)?

I have a good PSU that will support the card and everything else. A year ago i bought a computer that was an Hp and just put in a gtx 560 and a new PSU and worked great but wanting to upgrade to a gtx 770 and after today of watching my friend pretty much doing the same thing i am he actually had an issue with the graphics card not even displaying anything. We did some research and found that maybe he needed to do an update for MoBo but there is not one for him. Just worried of buying the card and I cant even use it. I must also mention that he might have had issues with his processor being and AMD and trying to hook a Nvidia gtx 770 into it?

Brand AMD or Nvidia has nothing to do with it both equally supported on AMD and Intel systems. It can be broken card or not connected right like lacking PCIe power from the PSU to the card.

The Pegatron "Mmephis-S" motherboard does have the PCI Express 16 gen 3 expansion slot. But there are two other factors to worry about - the power supply, and the width of the video card. Two-slot-wide video cards will not fit. And watch out for "single slot" video cards that have the heat sink and fan hang out sideways taking up a second slot, there may not be enough room under the overhanging heat sink/fan if there is a tall capacitor or something next to the single PCI Express 16 gen 3 slot connector on the motherboard. As far as the power budget, if your PC is an HP Pavilion 500 or similar with 300 watt ATX power supply, you will have to upgrade the power supply to 450 watts or higher. With the power budget left after CPU, RAM, hard disk, etc., only relatively low end video cards (Nvidia GeForce GT 610, low end Radeons) that take 30 watts or less will meet the power budget left with the original 300 W system power supply. Video cards that burn 50 to 80 watts or more will need a lot beefier power supply. The best thing to do is to google on the manufacturer specs ("EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 4GB", for the card you are proposing) for your exact make and model of video card, and find out the recommended system power supply size, and what the power dissipation of your desired video card is. Most manufacturers will give a recommended minimum system power supply wattage for their video card models.
