[SOLVED] AsRock Motherboard on an HP Pavillion

[FireAntX10]

Today, I went to a store that had ordered an Asrock B450M PRO4 motherboard that will come October 27th and am intending to upgrade from my Hp Pavilion P7 1227c. Will this work?

Here's the Motherboard in question:

HP cases and power supplies are not known for being "industry standard". The pictures I find, look reasonable. The included motherboard only has a 4 pin supplemental CPU power plug. Your new one has an 8 pin. That means you really need a power supply also.
And your new motherboad uses different RAM than your existing one.
Your existing Windows install probably won't boot.
You have a lot of work ahead.

@kanewolf What kind of power supply do I need to be an 8 pin? I'm new to this stuff, so I don't know where to start.

Here's the desktop I currently have, to make sure:

Yes, that is where I saw the square 4 pin plug near the CPU socket. Your new motherboard had an 8 pin plug.
The description shows a standard ATX power supply. You can probably get a 450W.

Can I get a power supply slightly higher than 450W?

Yes, that would leave some headroom for upgrading/overclocking, but don't go overkill on it or else you'll be throwing your money down the drain.

If I were to buy another ATX Computer case, will the new motherboard fit it?
