HP Pavilion p6320f Desktop PC <-- This is my computer, i cannot post link but if you google it it should come up.

Just wondering in regards to this prebuilt computer. When taking it apart and putting in a new card and power supply, is there anything i should know? any tips? I have never modified my computers before, however i have taken apart this one fully and put it back together a few times, i know where the parts go and have taken the proper saftey precautions (That i am aware of, wood floors, no socks, and a bracelet my cousin gave me, he said it would help with grounding, i had also heard about this)

I am putting in this card:

GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX

and this Power supply:

COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS500-PCARD3-US 500W ATX12V v2.3 Power Supply

Thank you in advance !
 
You should be good to go. Enjoy.

If you get a few of the plastic zip ties you can bundle up the power cords once everything is installed.

Post if you hit problems, else post when you succeed for other Pavilion p6320f owners who find your build.
