I agree, you're going to bottleneck a 960 with that system most likely, Not to mention i doubt the stock PSU has enough power to sustain a 960 at full load.

I second the recommendation of looking into something closer to a 750 ti their are some good ones for cheap these days, you might be able to push it to a 780, but that's kinda a 50/50 shot.

If you are dead set on a 960, your going to have to to through a good deal of upgrading before you would see its full potential, MB/CPU for sure Prob RAM & PSU as-well

Indeed, Yes it will most certainly fit, and even function in the most basic sense of the word, but if you put a 960 in that system stock you might get half performance out of it at best. and if the PSU isn't strong enough to power it at load you will get blue-screens, but if you insist.

It would almost certainly help. However, i wouldn't recommend putting any HP replacement supply in there for a 900 series GPU

I'd say you are going to want something like this at minimum

Now, that being said, the PSU will keep it from crashing, but your system itself will still limit that card by a lot, so much that you will be paying a 960 price for like 690 performance.
