You can probably run a GT 1030 without a power supply upgrade.

From the photo I see of the motherboard, it looks to use standard power supply connectors. So, assuming the power supply fits in the case, it should be possible for you to upgrade the power supply if needed. If you did that, I'd suggest getting a GTX 1050.

I would not recommend you get the 780, it's really not an appropriate card for this kind of computer.
That system looks to come with a 180 watt power supply, nothing better than the onboard video card in your CPU will run on that. I think that system has a standard ATX power supply though (you can measure it and compare to ATX form factor) so it would be simple to replace it.

Something like an nVidia 1050 or an AMD RX 560 would be a good cheaper video card for gaming. You will want to find a smaller card of those, not a full length one so it will fit.

Would a gtx 780 p work with my pc? My friend is offering to sell me it so I was wondering if it would work?
And thanks for earlier response!
 


If it fits in the case and you get a good power supply, yes it will work. I would not pay too much for the card though, even thought it is as fast as newer lower end gaming cards, it uses a lot more power and is years older. Your CPU is not that good for gaming so even a lower end gaming card like a 1050 or 1050 Ti will be OK to use.

I doubt it will even fit in your system, that is a pretty large card.
