Question Removing panel on HP Pavilion 550-132ng?

[Toolbar]

I am trying to insert a graphics card Nvidia GTX 970 into this PC
But it's very awkward/difficult to fit it in.
Is there any way to remove the panel in the photographs below?

You will need to remove the 3 clips facing the camera simultaneously(or one at a time) then pry away from the fascia of the chassis towards the right(of the pic).

Your prebuilt should be coming with a 180W PSU, I'd advise against dropping that card in that case unless you've gotten a higher wattage, reliably built PSU, preferably a 550W unit. Due to the size of the case, you should be in good order if you got an SFX PSU.

Just to ask about the power supply HP lists it at 180 watts. And is it an internal power supply, Some of those models of HP had a external power brick like a laptop. One or the other is not enough watts to power the GTX 970.

And is there even a PCI-e power cable coming off your power supply even if you have an internal unit?

I blew your picture up so I can see you do have an internal power supply. But again HP says it's 180 watts.

If HP didn't do any propriety power supply to motherboard wiring/connections alterations you could get a more powerful one and switch yours out.
