4.0GB DDR3 Ram
AMD Radeon HD4200 Integrated Graphics
500GB Hard Disk

and as you can see that require 550W power supply and mine is 320W so if it can fit in my case can i also add separated power supply unit out ? or if there's any suggest will be great
thx ..

I cant open your link but since your PC is a small form factor you can only use low-profile (half-height) cards

The bracket on the card is a full height, and the one sitting in front of it is a half height.
Like I said I cant open the link to see what card you are talking about but if it requires 550w, it cant be a half height card.


You don't add a second power supply to a PC, you replace it with a higher wattage model.
Unfortunately the small form factor PC kicks you again because those PSUs are long rectangles instead of being more cube shaped like a normal PSU. They don't even make a psu for your size that is 500w.

I am not sure that card will fit. If it does fit yes you will need a new PSU an ATX PSU will work in a BTX system. However that video card will not perform to its maximum potential because the rest of your system will not be able to provide the video card the needed data fast enough i.e. the video card will be bottlenecked by the rest of the system.

thank you for your fast reply
as you can see this my case and i think that i've the intended port

and about the PSU why not !! it seems a little bit weird but i think it will be work and i have the system requirements for this card except the PSU so if i can put a separated unit will be work don't you think ?
here's my case from inside

beside according to psu as you can see it's very difficult to find another one with 650W to fit on the motherboard

Ok, you said you had the small form factor model but from your picture you seem to have the full model

Here is the difference:

In that case you can get any GPU. The problem is that the motherboard does not use a standard 24pin power supply connector, thus you could only ever replace it with a factory unit.

The only half decent options you have is to get a gtx-750ti or a r9-260x which dont require external psu connectors.
On the bright side these graphics cards wont be bottle necked by your dated core2 cpu, but I can make no promises that your aging PSU can still output 300watts of power

okay so we can't find any PSU 750W can be fit on this motherboard ? OR we can i change the motherboard with another one but in the same time will be fit in this case ?
and do you mean R7-260X coz i haven't found any thing in R9 series call 260X , and which one you prefer the R 260X or Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti ?
ofcours i want it for gaming
thank you for help

Yes r7-260x is what I meant to type, sorry for the confussion.

The two cards are very neck and neck. Only because more games and applications take advantage of cuda cores (NVidia) then games that take advantage of Mantle (AMD) that I would say a 750ti.



What it unfortunately comes down to is that you have two options:
1) Get a GTX 750ti for your current setup
2) Sell that HP computer for hopefully $150 and build a new one.

The motherboard is a slightly odd shaped board so I am skeptical that a normal mATX (a size standard) would even bolt to the case. On the off chance it would, your board is a socket 775 motherboard which was phased out in 2008/2009. To use your current cpu and memory you would have to buy a used socket 775 motherboard and hope that it still has some life in it. Then you would still be limited by your cpu bottlenecking any higher card, at best your cpu would handle a gtx-660 or r9-270x. So in order to get a better gpu you would need to replace the motherboard, power supply, cpu, and the ram. Once you upgraded yourself nicely you would have the issue of that stock case never being designed to offer enough cooling ability for a high performance gaming rig. I have seen several posters try and try to make it work in their OEM case to finally give in and buy all new stuff.

I wish I could give you better news/suggestions but I would rather give you bad news then misleading or in the long run more costly information.
