New GPU/PSU

[ab3rry]

Hi, I currently own a normal HP slimline PC (the S5760UK), and would like to upgrade it for the upcoming release of Diablo 3. However, being the poor student I am, I can't afford to build a whole new computer. I would nevertheless like to upgrade the GPU to a better one, and along with this I assume I would have to have a second Power supply to power this graphics card. I was looking at the GTX560 (http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials...raphics+Card+?productId=45322&rqcType=new#rqc) in particular, but was wondering whether this would even be compatible with my motherboard/computer on the whole. I'm also not sure if a second power supply would even work - do they have to be connected the motherboard?

For reference, this is the specifications (motherboard, current GPU etc) of my PC.. http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bi...portFAQ&prodSeriesId=5035352&prodTypeId=12454

Any help would be appreciated, and if something I've said won't be possible, some alternatives would be great.

Thanks

The Motherboard does have a PCI E x16 slot so you should be fine. Also take into account how long the graphics card is, but I'm sure it will fit in the case.

You might want to check whether it would fit in widthways, you may need a new case, from the case specs on your link it is apparently 10.5cm deep (as in from side panel to side panel), not sure whether the 560Ti can fit inside that?

Should be ok but be sure to fully check the measurements and then go ahead

should be fine the only concern is the case. but according to the specifications the gpu should fit fine. with the gtx 560 there is 2 6pin connectors so you would need a new psu. you dont need 2 power supplys just a new one installed. my choice would be http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies+-+PSUs/Non-Modular+650W+or+less/450W+ARIANET+Gamer+80PLUS+Power+Supply+?productId=47996. this has all the desired connectors needed and would fit fine. hope this helped
