GTX 960 in HP case

[samvy55]

Can anyone tell me if I can fit a GTX 960 into my HP Pavilion Case. I can't buy a new case so this why.

depends on what hp case you have. what is the model of your hp computer?

I have a P6220a, so the P6000 series. Also what does mean if two pci slots are taken up.

Oh also can I install a new motherboard into the case and can it be ATX or does it have to be mATX.

according to generic hp specs you have an intel e5300 cpu and a 250w generic hp power supply. the best graphics card you could do would be a gtx750ti that doesn't require an extra 6 pin pcie connector. even then you would probably end up with a cpu bottleneck, even if you have a higher end core 2 duo processor in there

hp might have a proprietary motherboard 24pin connector from the power supply that will only connect to hp motherboards. so you may need a new power supply if you wanted to change the motherboard to something non oem hp.
