Hi,
I am considering to upgrade to GTX 650 ti boost but i am kind of afraid there wont be enough space for the new GPU.Are there any suggestions?
Here's my system information:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03042872&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5173576#N96
I am also considering this card(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121714) but i am not sure it is a worthy upgrade.

Its shows only 2 gb of ram on the spec page. Is this true? Also I would get a 7750 before the 650.

7750:

As for a 650 ti boost, I would think you could find one to fit especially with the half length cards on the market, however I would get a new psu for it just in case.

Zotac does make short gtx 660's that might fit.

Yes it used to have 2gb of ram but i already upgraded to 6gb.Btw,I chose the GTX 650-E because it will not require any external power and will be able to operate solely from a PCIe port.Does the 7750 support 300 W PSU?
