h8-1260T
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Need to replace my video graphics card. Have AMD Radeon HD 7570. My PSU is 300 MAX.  Looking for a video card that will work with 300 PSU Max. Just need my computer to operate. No gaming.  I am also open to upgrading my PSU to 600 W if one knows which one would fit in the h8-1260t.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@LOlde, welcome to the forum.

 

The main problem that you will have is, newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a Legacy/standard BIOS.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012 with Win 8.  Your BIOS can't be upgrade to UEFI.

 

The last video cards to not require UEFI are the GTX 660/670 series.  Your best option is to choose a manufacturer and contact their Tech Support for help with choosing the best card for your system.  This will save you frustration and money.
