Hello, I wonder if I could some advice on a graphics card upgrade. I currently have an HP Media Center PC model number m270n with these specifications:

Motherboard: ASUS P4SD with a uATX form factor, Pentium 4HT 2.8GHz
Video Card: GeForce FX 5200 with 128 MB memory, 8X AGP, with S-Video and DVI out
Power Supply:
Micro ATX-V200HP 200 Watts

I want to upgrade my power supply and Graphics card to these:
PNY GeForce 6800 GS / 256MB GDDR3 / AGP 8x / DVI / VGA / TV Out /

KDM M6400/7400 400W MicroATX P4 12V Dual Fan Power Supply

Does anyone know if these will be acceptable with my current setup. I'm concerned about the following:

motherboard, which is uATX, and the graphics card says it must be compatiable with an ATX 2.0, is it?

graphics card size, I can't find the dimensions of that card but am concerned that it won't fit

power supply: will that power supply prove acceptable

Thanks very much for reading and answering

uATX= MicroATX, and that probably requires a very small power supply. Not sure though, maybe someone else here could help out for sure?

The card is a good choice, everything else looks great.

Yeah, but the power supply he has selected is uATX form factor, so it should work...

The power supply manufacturer says this:
It will fit most micro ATX cases except those that uses mini-ATX power supplies.

So if the one you currently have is a Micro ATX, and the new one is the same, it should work, no?

Thanks for answering.

The dimensions are a little off from my current power supply but I think it will fit. I'm a little concerned about the dimensions of the card and if it will fit in my case. Hopefully it does anyway.

Also is an IDE cable considered a molex dongle?

Thanks
