Upgrading my PC

This_Person · Sep 14, 2014

I am upgrading my HP Pavilion p6535a Desktop PC and I don't know if these components will be compatible, be able to run properly, and fit in the slot.
Here is my PC specifications: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/learnUseDisplay?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_efb5c0793523e51970c8fa22b053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c02490991-2%257CdocLocale%253Den_US&javax.portlet.tpst=efb5c0793523e51970c8fa22b053ce01&sp4ts.oid=4162263&ac.admitted=1410698950058.876444892.199480143

Graphics card: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SUPERCLOCKED-Graphics-02G-P4-2662-KR/dp/B00966IREK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

If the above graphics card wont fit, here is my second option: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-PCI-Express-Displayport-Graphics-GV-N660OC-2GD/dp/B00942TK8I/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1410309050&sr=1-11&keywords=graphic+card

Power supply: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045L4BNW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
(Yes i know the power supply is over kill, but hey, its better to have more than not enough...)

Just to be safe, i am going to get a graphics card cooling fan, will 140mm be alright, or will it not fit?
- thanks and sorry for all the links

For about the same money, I'll suggest the GTX 750Ti http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410699904&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+750ti which shouldn't have any issues with power needs or room

C12Friedman :

Yeah i thought about that but i want one that can still play games at 50fps or more 5 years in the future (mainly for fallout 4)
You also didn't answer my question about compatibility or size lol

C12Friedman · Sep 17, 2014

Compatibility isn't an issue, size may be a consideration. The specs page of your computer says that there is something occupying the PCIe x16 lane currently but isn't specific, do you currently have a graphics card installed?

C12Friedman :

Sorry i'm new to this stuff, i recently measured it and the PSU and graphics cards fit, but im unsure if the GPU will go over the capacitors on my mother board. There is also a heat-sink which is slightly higher... ill have to look more into that.
And yes, i have a crappy low end GPU currently using the PCIe x 16 slot.

C12Friedman · Sep 18, 2014

There should be no issues with capacitor clearance, I was more concerned with length which is one of the reason's for the 750Ti suggestion (that and low power consumption, wouldn't need to change PSU either) since there are some rather short versions of that card. The GTX 660 is a bit better than the 750Ti for gaming so if it'll fit length-wise, I'd say you're good with the XFX PSU and GTX 660.
