This is the graphic card:
EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P3-3733-KR

this is my pc stats:

Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Model 0AA0h (XU1 PROCESSOR)

Chipset Model X38

One more question, should I take a 64 bit low profile, 128 low profile, or 128 bit dual? thanks a lot!

Because the MB has the x38 chipset with pcie1.1 x16 version, and you have to find the newer BIOS from hp for the MB , otherwise you may not use the gt 730 on it.

And get the gt730 DDR5 64-bit one (384 CUDA Cores), , it is better than the DDR3 128-bit one. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

You should check the BIOS version by http://www.wikihow.com/Check-BIOS-Version and to see what date for it. If the BIOS was released on 2000 or lately, you are fine. And because you will buy the gt730, so try it out when you get the GPU.
If the MB does not recognize the gt730, and you can't find the newer BIOS for the MB, then you have to buy the new MB ( you are better to buy the parts to build your own PC). If the GPU will work with your MB, you don't need to buy the MB.

I updated my bios and it's the latest version, prolly 2012, but what about the PCI-E slot, will that work or not.
The bios is perfectly fine, is there anything else I should worry about or the graphic card will work!? thanks for your time and stay awesome.

I just need to know if there's anythnig else I need to check or is it only the bios?
This graphic card has: Interface Type: PCI-E 2.0 X16
And my mb has: Pcie 1.1 x16
So will it work or will it not? thanks

The pcie 2.0x16 is backward compatible to the pcie1.1 or 1.0 version, even you can use it in pcie3.0x16 as long as the MB has the right version BIOS. So you should be fine because the BIOS is newer.

And one more question, which window do you use? If you have the win7, you are fine, if you have win10, and because your MB has the Legacy BIOS version ( I think), you may or may have problem related to the 'Secure Boot' on OEM pc like the HP.
