Size of graphics card upgrade question on HPe h8m

[ Edited ]

I have ordered the Hpe Hp8 series computer with:

 

Graphics Card:    1GB DDR3 Radeon HD 6570

PSU: 460w

 

I was wondering if this  1GB DDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti   would fit inside.

 or is it even possible to fit this card into it?

Hi,

 

You shouldn't have an issue with the NVIDIA 550TI which is a 8.25" card.

 

The NVIDIA 560 TI is 9.5" and could be a very tight fit.  It's best to wait for your PC to arrive then measure.

 

The 560 TI is going to require a 550 to 600 watt power supply.
