Hello! This is my computer:

http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03527112

and I want to change the graphics card to this one:

I already know that the PSU wont be able to handle this graphics card so I'm going to get this one:

Do you know whether the graohics card will be compatible with the rest of the computer? Ive read things like some graphics cards not being compatible with HP computers no matter OS etc...
Also, do you have any other tips as to changing my graphics card and PSU? I already know that it will fit inside the case as I have measured.

Hello,

Well the GPU is a good card, it will not bottleneck with that CPU. But, if you were to get a 650w powersupply or somthing of that power you could run a R9 280x. It is more powerful than the 960 for less money.
There shouldn't be any issues with installing it.
