Hello, I need help as fast as I can as I will go buy a graphics card. Yes I am the same guy with the HD 7750 question.

Now, I called to the pc parts shop that I was going to go to but seems they told me that HP Computers can have issues when it comes to graphic cards installation.

would a HD 7750 Radeon really work in my computer? Or should I go and buy one of the "Recommended" Graphics cards... which are really poor and low performance?

Specs are the same as the past time: HP 500B MT Pentium Dual Core E5800 @ 3.20GHz, 4GB of RAM (DDR3 1333, PC3-1060), Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit and a PSU with 300W (FSP ATX-300GU - 300 Watt ATX Power Supply)
 
Solution
As I said earlier Intel g41 chipset will not bottleneck the GPU and there will be no incompatibility issues. So no need to worry about that. From the hardware point of view I can tell that, now its your call. Good luck.
In theory HD 7750 should work. It consumes pretty much low power to run so the PSU of yours can handle things. But it will be bare minimum(PSU) for your system.

Its hard to tell if the GPU will fit on your cabinet or not. So make the measurement's before you buy. Other than that there will be no incompatibly issues whatsoever. You may need to update BIOS to run the GPU.

Thank you. Well I guess the biggest "issue" too is that the motherboard in this computer has a intel g41 express chipset.
Now I wonder if I should get a less piwerful card that could work with it. I want to play tf2 and also do some minor photoshop work.
