Hello everyone, I am upgrading my computer and this is what I currently have: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03511113-6%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.tpst=ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01&sp4ts.oid=5295969&ac.admitted=1385931801183.876444892.199480143

I am looking at buying this card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-Radeon-Edition-Graphics-Express/dp/B008HZXRKU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385931939&sr=8-1&keywords=VTX3d+7850

And this PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/269259-corsair-600w-cx-series-v2-psu-6x-sata-2x-pci-e-cmpsu-600cxv2uk

What mu question is, will the PSU work and fit in the computer, with the correct cables and everything, and will the graphics card fit in the computer. Thank you all in advance.
Also, is it difficult to put the parts in myself? This is my first ever upgrade, and is there much chance of things going wrong if I do it?

Looking at that it will all work together and the PSU has a big enough wattage rating.

As for swapping out the PSU, that can be tricky in some PC cases but most of the time its simple. You can just unplug all the wires and the PSU will slide out (after removing fixing screws). The GPU is easier, remove the PCI-e blanking plate from the back off the case, then install the card in the PCI-e slot. Remember to also power the card with either the PCI-e connector on the PSU or the molex adapters that will come with the card.

OK thanks, I was quite unsure if the graphics card would fit the computer, I was worried it would be too large :)

I understand that, but you said that the builder series PSU is too big, and yet isn't it the same size as the one you sent me?
