That is the power supply I am thinking about purchasing. I need at least 500w, 600w would be optimal but I am on a budget. (if there are any 600w reliable psu's for around $45 then please share)

Here is my current PC, I have a new graphics card I want to install hence why I am buying a new power supply.

PC: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02859337&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5099022#N92

Graphics Card: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-radeon-r7-260-double-d-edition-2gb-ddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card/2518005.p?id=1219074167413&skuId=2518005

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just need to know if the power supply will fit, if the wattage is good enough, are all the connectors going to work, etc. I see that the power supply I'm thinking of buying is an ATX but my motherboard is a uATX which I assume is μATX which makes me wonder if they are compatible. Thank you

OEM Pc's can be a pain in the behind while upgrading (proprietary components ), but as far as I remember the "internal ATX" power supply is standard ATX power supply, so you should be good. Remember the new power supply will be longer than the old one, so you need some clearance there. Otherwise you are good.

The PSU you listed is a decent one(tier 3), this is a nice quality tier 2 PSU for 52$

Thanks for the help, this was just the answer I was looking for. Also that is a nice PSU for just a few more bucks, I think I'll go with that one instead.
