I have a pc this is it http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-pavilion-500-pc-amd-quad-core-fx-770k-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-amd-radeon-r7-240-windows-8-1-english-500-419/10324420.aspx?path=1d5ac8fb341b596254294d752a261a78en02. I was wondering if someone could look at the specs or figure out if I can put a new psu and a new GPU like a gtx 760 or 750 in it because I can't tell if I can upgrade those parts?

You have a 300W Power Supply so without upgrading that a 750TI is your best GPU you can get.

You can replace your power supply with a good quality 500W or better but your limited to GPU'S under 10 inches in length, a 960 GTX would be a good fit and probably the fastest you will be able to make use of.

Be aware if you replace your GPU you might need to go into the BIOS and select PCIe graphics as default, this is one of those annoying problems with HP it doesn't always Auto select for you.

Does my psu have the right connectors or ports for a 750ti and is a 750ti a good card?
