Hi, i am somewhat of a noob when it comes to building/upgrading computers so bare with me. I am looking to upgrade my current graphics card (radeon HD 7450) to an XFX radeon R9 380.

Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150732

I have windows 8 and i have read that there are some problems with windows 8 not recognizing new graphics cards or not working properly with them. Will everything work properly if i get this card? I know that as far as everything else it should work, but will Windows 8 give me any issues with it? Also, i have read that HP has some problems with graphics card compatibilty. Will that be an issue as well? If anyone could give me some information on this I would appreciate it.

It should most certainly work, if it does not, it's a faulty card. No way windows can cause something like that, only drivers present porblems, not windows itself. You can most definitely buy the card.
