I'm 14 years old and got this PC about 4 years ago, and i got interested in gaming about 2 years ago.
I want to upgrade my first PC, a HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1110la by adding a GTX 750ti graphics card (or a 950ti if it comes out around my birthday in March) to get better performance in some of the games I usually play such as BF3, Rust, and other few games that require a bit of power to run decently. To achieve adding a GTX 750ti I must upgrade my PSU to 300W. The problem comes here, the case of the PC is a slim type and the PSU has to have this dimensions: 7.9 x 3.3 x 2.1 inches.

Full specs here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-Slimline-s5-1100-Desktop-PC-series/5146457/document/c03087159/

Any suggestions?
