Im considering to change my graphic card to GTX 960. Would it fit in my desktop and does it work with AMD A8-5500?

Hello @zkdls94,

Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!

I read your post about upgrading the Graphics Card, and wanted to assist you!  I understand that you are interested in finding out, if the Graphics Card is supported, and if it will fit.

Here are the Product Specifications for the GeForce GTX 960:

Bus Support: PCI Express 3.0

Recommended System Power: 400 W

Card Dimensions:

Height - 4.376 inches

Length - 9.5 inches

Width - Dual-width

Here are the Product Specifications for the HP Pavilion p7-1414:

Expansion Slots:

• 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen 2.0)

• 3 PCI Express x1 (Gen 2.0)

• 1 PCI Express Mini Card (Gen 2.0)

Power Supply: 300 W

Computer Case: ATX

• Height: 39.4 cm (15.55 inches)

Based on the information above, the Graphics Card should be able to fit.  However, you may have a lack of performance, because of the PCI slots.  You may also consider upgrading the Power Supply.

How about GTX 750 ti and can you recommend me a power supply?

Hello @zkdls94,

That one has a recommended system power of 300 W.  So you would not need to upgrade the Power Supply.  However, since it has bus support for PCI Express 3.0, you may still experience a lack in performance.  I can not recommend a Power Supply.  If you choose to go with the first Graphics Card, then you would need to upgrade the Power Supply to something that is at least 400 W.  I hope this helps.
