Hello all, I was wondering if this graphics card would be compatible with my system. Hp p6 2316. I assumed it would be but I was a little concerned that I wouldn't have a large enough PSU. Heres the card http://goo.gl/1uGQjh

It'd be compatible with the motherboard since it has a PCI-E x16 slot, but there are two problems

The CPU is rather weak and will hold you back in alot of upcoming games, especially as it is a rather weak dual core

That 300W OEM Power supply is nowhere near enough to supply power to the 650 Ti Boost

In your current position the maximum recommendation would be the Radeon 7750

Will it run at all if I put it in there? What PSU wattage do you recommend if I were to upgrade?

You'd need a fairly decent PSU, this one is good for its price

It would kinda be a waste of money to get the 650 Ti Boost for that system since in CPU intensive games the 650 Ti Boost will be held back alot by that A4 CPU which is about as powerful as a 6 year old Core 2 Duo

That FM1 socket on the motherboard also has close to no upgrade-ability so that is rather bad news

Sometime in the near future, I'll be upgrading my entire system. I plan on upgrading my motherboard ( GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3) and my cpu (AMD FX-6300). So I think in the long run it will all work out.

Damn that looks cramped, a giant reference card would be a bad idea xD

If you're upgrading the entire system might as consider an entirely new build

Well really the best bet right now would be this low profile 7750

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Take a look inside at the PSU sticker, what's the amp reading under the +12v rail (above 16A would be ideal for a 7750)?

Here's something to consider, the 7850 performs just about on par with the 650 Ti Boost, you could step up to a better card if you'd like though

If this is how the inside looks like, then there really isn't that much space for long video cards. I can't tell from this pic, but
it looks like the HDD bracket might in the the way.

I can take measurements and check on that tomorrow, I can purchase a psu as well around the same time as the gpu, at least, if it fits.
