Best GPU for HP Compaq DC5800 small form factor?

[sonic_boom81]

Hi, I just got a HP DC5800 SFF with Intel Q33 chipset. Trying to find a good GPU for it for gaming. I know I'm restricted by the size of the case and the PSU power.

It's got:
Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz
4 GB DDR2 RAM which I could to upgrade to 8GB.
Proprietary 240W PSU

Thanks

Looks like you will need a low profile GPU, which greatly limits your choice. You could measure with a ruler to see if a bigger card will fit.

*Edit: If you could fit a GTX 950, that would be best. If not that, then an RX 460. They might fit.

Thanks. That's the card i'm hoping will fit. I'm not sure if it would take up too much power? I know they are quite low powered.

I would recommend upgrading it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438015

I believe that these HP Compaq small for factor PC's PSUs can't be upgraded.

Oh, I didn't notice that. You could always replace the PSU and leave it laying out beside the case. :lol:

I thought about trying to move the motherboard and the rest to a spare tower case to fit everything, but mounting the parts would be difficult I'd think.

I've known people who didn't use a case at all. Just had all their parts laying on a table/desk. But it's up to you. Maybe save up for a whole system.
