Hello how are you today! Thanks for taking the time to read this as I could use some help!
Now before I get started, let me say that this is just a temporary 'fix' until I plan to purchase a brand new computer in the not so distant future (within 9 months most likely).

I'm attempting to purchase a new graphics card and using a HP Slim Tower I run into some problems here and there. I've narrowed it down, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, to the GTX 650 LP.

By default it doesn't look like the card will fit, again, correct me if I'm wrong.

However I have an RCA/TV Coax connection in the hub directly below it.

Is it possible to remove this completely (as I've literally NEVER used it) to make room for this graphics card?

At the bottom are some pictures to make as much sense as possible.

I'm not exactly sure what that card/board does as I'm a software guy, and hardly mess around with internals.

Once again, thank you so much!

The other card should be removable. Not sure if it's a TV tuner or what, but you can definitely take it out if you need more room. I'd be more worried about whether you have the power to drive a GTX 650 in a slim desktop like that. If it doesn't need additional power connectors, then you might be alright, but slim desktops usually run really tight on power as is when you get them.

After further inspection it appears to be a WinTV Tuner. But awesome to hear it is removable without any concerns. +1

According to the place I'd be buying this graphics card, it does not require the 6 pin connector for the extra power.

It has a 285w power supply, but I plan on purchasing this 350w that should fit my slim case.

350w should be enough. Hope this lasts until you can afford a new system.
