WIll this work?

[greathelp]

Alright so i found out more about my computer and i guess i have my graphics card on my motherboard and I want a new one.
This tell you everything about my computer http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01430264&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=3677047&prodTypeId=12454
Will I be able to get a different graphics card? What kind of slot/ what graphic cards will work?
& Are there different kinds of Power Supplies for the PC? because i want to upgrade to around 450w but Im not sure if my computer needs a specific type.

So all im asking pretty much is what type of graphics card will work on my computer if I upgrade my power supply to 450w

Well to me that's what you want to look at is the total system power draw WITH a 6570.That will tell how close the the OP will be to exceeding their power limitations.It's somewhat difficult for me to add the power consumption for each componet.

Just to be sure, how many amps are on the +12v rail(s)?
Their should be a chart on the back of the PSU itself.Look it up there.Then we can determine just exactly how much power that PSU is capable of delivering.

"COMBINED POWER ON +12v AND +5V RAILS NOT EXEED 268w MAX."

Is their a single amperage rating for just the +12v rail?

Not that I can see 🙁

is that one bad? it fits the 300w and it seems to be alright?
what do you think

Wait i can see Output +12v === /19a Max.
if that helps somehow?

So that's around 200 watts it can output on the +12v rail.So you'll be fine with the 6570.

The 6570 is faster than the GT430.

Awesome! but can you explain your reasoning?

What?

The 6570 is slightly faster than the GT430 but it's faster while consuming less power.

That review is based on the old 5570 too.The 6570 is even more faster since it's the improved version of the 5570.

Ok good 😀.
But if it will run on my 300w power why is it said to have atleast 400w?
Just wondering, I just dont want to go out and spend $80+ on the 6570 just to find out i need a better PSU.

GPU makers like Nvidia and AMD will always overstate the actual power needed to power the GPU and the PC because of PSU makers that make crapy PSU's and say they can deliver a certain amount but in reality they can't even come close.

You actually should buy a new PSU.HP makes bad PSU's and while it's still enough to power a 6570 and the rest of your PC it's not very clean power.

are you 100% sure i can run the 6570?
