Hello Everyone, what I need are confirmation about the possibility to upgrade my Desktop pc: hp Pavilion 500-211 el,

here the specifications: (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c04100072)

My main purpose is to upgrade the graphic card into the gtx 1060, i already know that it will be necessary to change the psu and I have already thought to possible solutions: psu ATX Atlantis MaxPower 550 W or MP 6000 W Atlantis (they are pretty cheap) ;).

Now, my main concern is: will all of this fit in my case? especially the psu?
p.s and please don't bother me about my pre-assembled pc, thanks.

1) You need to measure the space inside the case to make sure the gtx1060 will fit into the case. eg in the linker, that case can support up to 12" GPU. http://archive.benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews/cases/Thor-v2/Rosewill_THOR2-Case-325-Review.jpg So do your home work.
2) Yes, you need the new PSU, because the HP came with 300W PSU. And don't buy the cheaper PSU like you said Atlantis brand, the PSU is the heart of the PC, the cheaper one may kill the GPU even other parts too, because it may not provide enough power and overheat.
3) You need to disable the secure boot in the BIOS, because you add the other GPU into the HP pc with win8. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03653200
