Hello,

recently i've been looking into buying a HP Compaq 8100 Elite

( http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/HP-8100-SFF-Core-i5-3.2GHz-8192MB-1000GB-DVDRW-W7P64-Refurbished/10100209/product.html?refccid=PTCAAK7AHPF3ILKJM2MEW5SFNU&searchidx=3 )

After finding out what the integrated card was, I was a little dissepointed but I think that's going to be my best shot for 8gb and 1tb in a rig. Anyway, since the pre-installed card is pretty cruddy, what would be a good option to upgrade the PC with a new GPU within like 6 months? I want to run stuff like DayZ on low to medium settings with the upgraded card.

Thanks!

Will the r7 be able to work wtith the power supply? I remember reading somewhere that the pci port or something has a max of 35 watts.
