I have a Hewlett-Packard 3048h (XU1 PROCESSOR) motherboard.
Will a XFX AMD Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition FX785AZNFV Video Card be compatible?
I am trying to improve gaming experience. Thanks!

But be aware that the HD 7850 is a 130W card that will draw ~11 amps from the +12V rail when maxed out. And it needs a 6 pin aux power connector too. So check your PSU to be sure it is big enough.
