UPGRADING

[jamie951021]

Hello there,
I currently have a HP Pavilion P6340a
I am wondering if get a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHz 4MB 1333MHz and a Nvidia 9800GT 1GB, will it fit in without changing the motherboard, powersupply etc.. I am planning to upgrade this for Battlefield 3.
As long as Battlefield 3 does not lag for me. I dont mind if it runs on low settings.

Thanks,

The CPU is supported http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01903990&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=4082483#N94
You would need to upgrade PSU from the current 250watt unit for the 9800GT!

what PSU would you suggest? I am not planning to spend much money.
If you could , try find the items from this website www.pbtech.co.nz , as i am going to order from that website

There is a cooler master GX550 on that site or a Corsair TX650 apart from a very expensive Seasonic they are the only brands I recognize (know) but you need about 400-450watts.
