Is this graphics card compatible with my system?

[Curtis Laudenslayer]

I have an HP computer model m8430f. I am looking to upgrade my graphics card to the nvidia gtx 750 TI. Is my system compatible?
(Will the CPU handle it? will it physically fit?)
i know my computer has a 300W power supply, which is the minimum for the card, is it bad to have the minimum?

Depends on the 750 Ti. Some require more power and use some power connectors while other rely on the slot. I would recommend this EVGA card: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp43751kr

It is small and does not require any power connections except for the slot.

I didnt know there were different types of cards with the same chipset, im noob

So is there a performance difference with different cards that require different connections / sizes?

It's alright, I was too 😛 Only in the slightest. The cards all have different cooling solutions and software, but other than that they should give around the same performance. Some perform better in overclocking situations than others, but I would not recommend attempting it in your case due to the Power Supply.
