Hi all, I've recently inherited a HP workstation (mb model# 0AECh) with a single E5620 on board. It came with 12gb of RAM and I threw in another 8gb that I had kicking around. Unfortunately for my gaming, the Quadro FX 4800 card on board doesn't support DX11. The psu is an 850.

After much Googling I'm still not entirely sure that I can drop a GeForce GTX 770 or 780 into this system without bottlenecking?

I've received a lot of answers off these forums before and hoping for another! Thanx all.

Thank you :) I've settled on the GTX 770 - just need a quick measurement to be sure it fits in the case! Also, my psu is an 850w so that should be plenty to power the card as well?
