I just got a new HP A6402F desktop and was wondering if it was feasible to install a new XFX 8800GT 512 card? This computer uses a micro atx motherboard and I have recently purchased the card and am currently awaiting the arrival of a new power supply to replace the existing 300w psu. What concerns me is that the case/motherboard seems a little cramped with possibly wires touching the card. The card I heard can get really hot so I wouldn't want any wires touching it. Can anyone provide some insight?
You haven't provided us with enough information for us to figure it out. Find out if your computer has a PCI Express x16 slot. Judging by your post if your computer is NEW you should be able to install your new graphics card.
