What do you mean by; "my pc puts out 65w"?

the power supply currently on my pc is 65w. the graphics card i want needs 400w min to power it. if i put a 400w power supply in will it burn out my pc? will ANY part of it be damaged by the power supply upgrade? or can i just change it out?

what kind of graphic card you are going to put.....i don't think you'll get benefit.coz your cpu is crap (atom).

You have two problems! Being a small form factor PC it will not accept a normal size PSU and full size GPU! A low profile GPU would fit if it had a slot for it which it does not http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01635697&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3887062
The best thing you do is to leave it as is!

rolli56 ^^ already explain you can't put graphic card which you choose. because your mother bord can't support.next your computer's cpu is not for play game. so if you want to play game then you must buy new set fo pc.....
