HP P6-2310 PC upgrade, will it work and/or fit?

AG x V3N0MZz · Dec 28, 2016

I am new to building or upgrading PC's so I Need some help before doing absolutely anything to mine. Anyways, this is the PC I have:

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03513433-14

and this is what I want to upgrade it with:

CPU - http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/processors/amd-a10-7860k-fm2-black-edition-apu-retail-10146851-pdt.html

GPU - http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/graphics-cards/pny-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-graphics-card-10157450-pdt.html

Now this is what I'm currently worrying about: some places/people have said that this sort of PC probably won't fit the GPU (I'm looking for) inside the case or PCle slot and also the GPU says it supports 300w and the power supply I have runs 300w so will that work once I have installed it or will I need to upgrade the PSU aswell? I'll be able to post some pictures of the inside of my PC case soon

Question from AG x V3N0MZz : "Will these upgrades work/fit in my PC? (FULL EDIT)"

AG x V3N0MZz :

So I'm wanting to upgrade my PC so I can get great FPS while playing games like DayZ but I'm not sure that the stuff I want for my PC will work/fit. Anyways, here's a link to my current PC:

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03513433-14

Things I want upgraded:

GPU - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-and-upgrades/graphics-cards/asus-expedition-esports-geforce-gtx-1050-graphics-card-10155521-pdt.html

PSU - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-and-upgrades/power-supplies/corsair-cx600-fixed-atx-psu-600-w-21891337-pdt.html

Different GPU (If I decide not to upgrade my PSU) - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-and-upgrades/graphics-cards/asus-geforce-gtx-750-ti-graphics-card-10001978-pdt.html

CPU - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMD-A8-Series-A8-3850-2-9-GHz-AD3850WNZ43GX-Socket-FM1-Quad-Core-CPU-/252221686069?hash=item3ab9958135:g:35wAAOSwNyFWeMm4

And finally (if needed)...

Memory/RAM - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-and-upgrades/computer-memory/corsair-cmv8gx3m1a1600c11-ddr3-pc-memory-8-gb-dimm-ram-10143252-pdt.html

Now what I do know already is that the CPU I'm looking at will definitely fit and work in my PC but the GPU's are what I'm curious about. My current PSU does not have a 6-pin connector AND its 300w at max, I can get the GTX 750 ti which would be simple to install since it (correct me if wrong) doesn't have a 6-pin and doesn't take up much watts from my PSU but to get the best performance out of my PC I would have to get the GTX 1050 ti and 600w PSU which the 6-pin is required in both but I'm unsure if the 600w PSU would even fit in my PC case.

Any answers at all would be appreciated to see whats best for me but tbh these are the only things I'm willing to upgrade in my PC, its either doing this or just simply buy a new gaming PC

For the CPU:
The socket is different and won't work on that motherboard. Consider getting a more recent one
For the GPU:
It should physically fit in the case and PCIe slot. However knowing the parts in prebuilt PCs I'd search for a new PSU.

That's all I can tell you sadly. I don't know much about AMD systems.
