Will I be able to Fit/Use/Install A GTX 750ti

[StudmuffinzYT]

I have integrated, built in graphics card, like a laptop in my HP pavilion 500-214, I'm wanting, No NEEDING, to upgrade. Will I be able to Use a Gtx 750 ti ? Power supply enough? Will it fit inside? Will it work correctly with my integrated built in Gcard?____________________
Here's a Link to my exact Computer, and case. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04100368. If you need any specs that HP doesn't show on the site, please ask. I'm not new to computers, i've done my research, just a starter builder. Please Help 😀

It is compatible with you motherboard but we need more information on the power supply. look on the power supply and there should be a tag that tells you how many amps in can handle on the 12V rail or rails (there may be multiples) and under that it should have a number that gives the total power delivery to the 12V rails (it will be in Watts)
The GTX750ti is a very low power graphics card, but they put some really crap powersupplies in these cheaper premade desk tops, so I want to be sure.

your psu is 300 watts and that is the minimum on gtx 750 ti to work in a system and she is also a dual slot card so check carefully in you case for the space of it .

If this helps with seeing what the back looks like a unboxing vid I made, the back of the pc where I think I would input the card if it fits, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkE3tvBRihc at 1:44
Heres a video of the inside of the PC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WUO4trarbw Trying to give out as much info as I can

 

[scout_03]

on the back where gpu go if there is space for a dual slot card . post a picture of the back if you could and the interior also .

Even better, here's a video of the exact same computer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WUO4trarbw Shows the back, and the insides. just skip around the video

if this is you exact model see how to do it it should fit http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/5399647/model/6529839/document/c04100688/

While the GTX 750ti will probably work I would still double check your power supply. What is listed on dell is not enough. You need to physically look at the powersupply and find a tag that looks like this:
http://imageshack.com/a/img540/3517/NOIiOa.jpg
See where it shows 12V1 and 12V2 and under them it shows 18A for both, and under that it shows 312W. THAT is the information you need. The 750 ti will probably work, but it is good to know what information you need when upgrading a graphics card.

Also make sure you are getting the right 750 ti. There are some models that are overclocked and require a dedicated 6-pin power connector and a 400W power supply.

My power supply is 300w, and looking at the graphics card I want, it takes 300w,,,, So that means it would take my whole power supply? i wouldn't have any power to share to anything else

 

[scout_03]

that it you will be on the psu limit it could work but for how long in time until the psu give up .

If the psu gave up, would it ruin any other parts?

 

[Pr3di]

The PSU is the only component that has the posibility to destroy other computer parts in your PC.
You don`t want to take any chances when it comes to the PSU.

If possible, I recommend upgrading your PSU to something from Tier 1 or 2 in this list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

The 300W is the minimum PSU size for the system that uses a 750 ti. the 750 ti itself only uses 60W @ 5A. Unfortunately sellers don't make this information easy to obtain you generally have to look it up on a review site like Tom's.

Oh hey, turns out this exact thread has come up before
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2214464/video-card-pavillion-500-214.html
SR-71 is a senior moderator who specializes in graphics hardware, so this is a pretty safe bet.

I don't know why people keep commenting on this suggesting a larger PSU. You do not need it, it is the 750 Ti. It uses the power from the PCI-e slot.

Again, no one needs up to upgrade their PSU to install the 750 ti. Just plug it in and play. It could not be any simpler.
