It has a stock psu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSU of 460watts max power. it also says on the psu that it has +12va+16, +12vb+15, +12vc+8 something like that. i was wondering if it is able to run ati http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ati 4850 max results without having any problems. i dont want my computer to blow.

If the PSU has a 6 pin pci-e connector, it should work just fine.

The PSU's that come with pre-built systems are usually of minimal quality, and may not deliver their advertised power under load. If you should have a problem, a Corsair 450 should do the job for $55. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139003

Yes, no hesitation i'd run that HD4850 with that HP power supply.

It should have enough power.

Monitor the temperature of the video card with speedfan or GPU-Z. Those HP boxes are often not very good at cooling because you're supposed to use them with crappy video cards in Word and Excel.
