According to hp, your board supports up to a 5600 dual core am2; 89 watts is the limit for the cpu. I recommend the evga 450 femi 01G-P3-1351 KR-GTS 450. It's 8.25 inches long, so get a tape measure and be sure it's not too long for your hp case. It may also take up the slot next to it. For a smaller card, newegg will have a zotac 430 femi on sale at 6 pm pacific time.
