I've got a HP 3330 MT and I plan to upgrade it by installing the Nvidia GTX 650 TI Boost. My main concern is that will it fit in my case or I need a smaller GPU??

And also I'm looking for a power supply if you can suggest one. I new in all this and I don't understand much. I surfed the net and some pages say the PSU in my PC is ATX white some say its micro ATX. Which PSU should I get?
Help pleaseeee!!!!!

The PSU and PC case's rear exhaust fan will be removing the warm air from the case.




How are the RAM slots in the way? The memory modules should be installed before the graphics card is installed.

The card should fit into that case.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 450 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 24 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

You haven't specified what country you reside in. If I recommended a PSU, that doesn't mean that it will be available in your country.

Thanks for the quick reply. I live in India.
Can you also please clear this ATX and micro ATX thing to me. On my research I found that my case is micro ATX and needed a smaller form factor PSU or something.
And also just to confirm you sure right that the Galaxy GTX Ti Boost will fit in my case without any problem beacuse it looks quiet big like as compared to the GTX 650?

The HP Pro 3330 Microtower PC's case may only fit Micro-ATX form factor motherboards but the power supply unit is a standard ATX (a.k.a. PS/2) form factor power supply unit (i.e. 150mm W x 86mm H x 140mm D).

If you want a much shorter GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST graphics card that is guaranteed to fit then get this one. It's a bit more expensive, though.

Also will there be any heating issues?
I tried speedfan with a stress test and found that the cores are at 30°C at 0% CPU usage but at 59°peak at 100% usage.
After installing the GPU wont it overheat or something?

I measured the distance between the faceplate of the PCIe slot to its end. It's about 15.5cm(6.1inches) before it reaches the end and then the RAM slots are in the way.

I bought the GTX 760 in the end. Its working great but i see a temperature of 91C on Speedfan. It labelled TMPIN1 and on google it says it is the Southbridge temperature which is right under the GPU. My motherboard has no heatsink installed over it. Is it normal???

As long as the temperature of the Intel H61 Express PCH chip is 104°C or lower it is considered within the Thermal Specifications. If the temperature is expected to possibly exceed 104°C then Intel says that a heatsink should be attached to the chip to keep the temperature below 104°C.

I don't see any mounting holes around it on which a heatsink can be installed. How will I install one?

Thanks for bearing with me. I'm a big time novice at all this.
Will this be all I need? Or do I also put a low profile heatsink over?
And can't I use regular thermal paste and put a heatsink over without screwing it.

The heatsink that you attach needs to be low enough in profile so that it doesn't interfere with any cards that may be installed above it.

Regular thermal paste is not an adhesive and will not bond the heatsink to the chip. The heatsink will fall off once the chip begins to warm if there are no retention screws holding the heatsink against the chip.
