Sorry to bother you guys with this but I can't find my answers anywhere else... So - hopefully someone here has the answer(s)... Hopefully...
I have 2 computers that I am trying to upgrade - they are exactly identical in every way EXCEPT "size". I have the HP DC7900 - one is a "Convertible Mini-Tower", the other is the "Small Form Factor"... Both computers are presently running Windows 10 Tech preview, both computers have different versions of Windows 10 Tech Preview. One has been fully upgraded to the latest version the other is 2 versions behind. But, the OS doesn't matter at this time. They are easily reverted back to their OG of Windows 7 Ultimate. Neither computer is barking at the tech preview OS.
Okay - back onto my question.
I want to upgrade the PS for both and the GC for both. I can't find a PS "anywhere" that supports these particular machines -- if you know HP then you know their manipulating ways of monopolizing the fluidity of their systems and BOTH of these PS have odd shapes to them. Making the swap for a generic (not in term, but, rather 'as in non-HP') PS difficult. I haven't found one online, at Frys or any other electronics store in So Cal (near me).. I'm not feeling the stock 250W PS and want to upgrade it to at least 450 if not 650 for both computers.
Any ideas on where or how to obtain one that is "case compatible" ?
...
Now, the Graphics Card.
I can't figure out what the "best" graphics card that I can get for these systems is. I presently have (in the low profile case <small form>) nothing special, just the stock integrated.
But, for the Mini-Tower I have an AMD R7 series Radeon 750 - I want to upgrade both. My preference is to upgrade the Small Form Factor PC first and then the mini-tower (which, btw, isn't really "mini" lol) ...
I do, do, gaming - but it's light - nothing too heavy... WoW, D3, LoL - that's about it.
With exception to the Mini-tower having the R7-250 GC and BOTH computers having been upgraded to 8GB memory as well as running OS-Win10TechPreview - everything else with the computers is stock.
N E one out there have ideas?
Please review this information, ignoring the OS10 concept - we're assuming Microsoft will finish it someday and when that day happens I'll worry about peripherals. In the interim, I have licensed copies of every Version of Windows that ever existed (yes, even back before Windows 3.0) so - I can always drop 7 or 8 and move forward if needed.
Thanks
