your pcie x16 slot is 1.0 but dont worry its backwards compatible. just make sure your graphics card is low profile and look to make sure your psu has enough watts to handle the new load. (yours is 240w from what i can tell)
 
It's rather difficult if your case is mini tower...
+1 for paperfox, as long as your mobo has pci-e x16 slot then u can use any pci-e card. Just make sure your card will fit on your case.
And if your PSU is just 240W then u might want to upgrade it, it's low...

Ok thx all..

I had checked my PSU that is 365w max..
That means do i have enough juice to run that graphic card?

Owh one more thing..

Im quite worried about graphic card compatability...

I also have HP DC7600 CMT. I just upgraded to Windows 8 and needed a new graphics card. I bought a "Stealth Radeon HD 4350 512MB DDR2 PCIe Graphics Card" by Diamond from Amazon for $59.99. It is PCIe 2.0 but it is working fine in my 1.0 slot. I bought this model mainly because it works with a 365 watt power supply.
