Is this PC compatible with the Gtx 750 Ti?

[fatdude223]

I have a GTX 750 ti sc model and I after browsing Best Buy I stumbled upon a HP Pavilion 590-p0024 PC with some fairly decent specs and I was wondering if it was compatible with this specific graphics card. I was looking to do some gaming capability on this thing and I was wondering if it was truly a possibility or not. Will it work?

Certainly should be, but it'll depend on the PSU.

While a 750TI is *only* a 75W TDP card, PSUs in pre-builts are typically the bare minimum for the spec it shipped with.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if that was a ~200W PSU.

*EDIT*
Actually, it's 180W.

65W TDP on the CPU, 30W or so for the balance of the components, call it 100W to be safe.
In theory +75W could be possible, but I can't find anything on the PSU itself. It could be 180W "peak", or "continuous".... even if it were continuous, loading that PSU to ~100% for consistent use, wouldn't be a great idea.

The graphics card should work as long as you put in 16x PCI slot on the motherboard. The two things I would worry about a prebuilt machine is if the graphics card can fit inside and the air flow through the case.

Looking at it, for the money, I'm not thinking it's a great idea - even forgetting the PSU aspect.

Gives you a starting point, requiring only a GPU and an OS. If you already have a 750TI or something, you could add it no problem.
If you were looking to buy, I'd skip the 750TI and opt for a 1050/1050TI

You'd need an OS license too, but you can run Windows10 unactivated until you can afford that.

Of course, an SSD would be REALLY nice, but at the pricepoint, it's a little tough to obtain.
