I picked up an HP Pavilion 510-P030 for the kids and need to order a nVida GeForce GTX1050 TI video card for it. First problem? Power supply is too small. I found that answer to that problem in these forum:
https://www.amazon.com/HP-Power-Supply-Regulated-5188-2625/dp/B001RQ4Z7A
Next problem? I don't think the card will fit! There is one PCIe16 slot sitting close to the power connector (I could squeeze I 1 inch wide card in that area. The GTX1050 says it is a 2-slot card. How wide is a 2-slot card? The board may only have one slot, but the back of the case has two slot doors, which would seem an odd thing to do if you can't fit a 2-slot wide card. Will it fit? Or am I out of luck?
