Hi,
I recently purchased a new pc for gaming and the video card on it is horrible. At the moment, I have a amd radeon hd 6450 but i want to upgrade to at least a 6850. My motherboard at the moment is a foxconn 2abf and i want to know if the GPU is compatable with it.
Thanks

I'm sorry, im not very good at this kind of stuff =P what is the hp model number? The model of the pc?
 
Yes; assuming the video card will fit. I would do some measuring for the length from the ports on the motherboard to the edge of your hardrive or any other device in the front that might touch the card.
 
Use this ps instead of the low end one you selected: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-500W-ModXStream-Power-Supply/dp/B001GLFD4U/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1327872292&sr=1-2. I use an ocz ps and ssd and they both work well.
