Hello, I'm looking at this Asus Radeon 6670 at Amazon and the specs look good. I just want to know a few things.

My specs: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03311504&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=5187028&prodTypeId=12454

CPU: Intel core i3-2120 @ 3.30 Ghz
Memory: 8GB
Motherboard: H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX (Cupertino2)
Hard drive: 1TB
Current graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics
Power supply: Stock 300w
Case: Mini Tower - Standard width, small height.

Asus Radeon 6670: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Radeon-Graphics-PCI-Express-Dust-proof/dp/B004XANO24/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1345108201&sr=8-6

I was wondering if that 6670 would actually fit in the computer perfectly.

all I can do here is to make an educated guess from the pictures of the gpu and the motherboard and I would say- it should fit as long as the pci express x1 slot underneath the pci-e x16 slot is empty. Its highly unlikely for the tail of the gpu to hit the memory slots since the gpu itself isn't that long. I'd say you will be fine.

It is very difficult to "guess". Best way is just to measure the amount of space you have available :). You should get rid of the 300W power supply.

Your stock 300W PSU will have no trouble at all with a HD6670. It can handle a more powerful HD7750 too (which actually uses less power).

Edit: ...and budget CM PSUs are overrated near-junk. Don't take my word for it; read the reviews going back a few years on HardwareSecrets.

Would you be willing to go with a different brand? Sapphire makes a nice HD6670 that's sleek and a bit cheaper. Or better yet, why not get a HD7750? It's only $15 more here in the states - not sure about UK.
