i want to upgrade my Hp pavilion GPU which has the AMD R7 2gb which just isn't powerful enough for me now i am looking to upgrade with MSI AMD R9 380 Gaming Graphics Card (4 GB, PCI-E 3.0, GDDR5, 256 Bit, DVI-I, HDMI) . i am just wondering if i can upgrade it with this and that my mother board would be also able to handle, I already know i will need a better power supply to make it run but will there be anything else i would need to buy to run and not have any problems.

Thanks in Advance for the replies.

yes you can. just make sure whichever card you get is not to big for the case(example, the cards cooler hitting the hard drive bays) so just measure before purchase. however i would recommend you get the rx 470 or the rx 480 instead of the 380x
