Hello guys,

I got this system: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02605989

Processor: Intel i7-860
8GB RAM
GPU (now): Intel HD 5570
2x 1TB Sata 7200rpm

I heard that wattage isn't the only thing that matters, but also the +12V rails (since it's a prebuild HP computer)

On the back of the PSU it says:

+12Va === 18A
+12Vb === 15A
+12Vc === 8A

What is the best GPU upgrade that my system can handle?
Thanks!

PSU is only 460W... a 960 uses 120 W and Nvidia recommend a 400w+ psu so this is a safe bet , But if you upgrade the PSU you can have any graphics card.

you have x16 PCI express so all is good

If you have money spare buy a SSD too, and use it as the boot drive (migrate or fresh install) PC will be then super fast !
