my question ; is it okay to buy that computer beffore the arrive of a GTX 750 ti , so i wont lose my money in that computer or in that gpu  . i asked that cause when i talked to one who works with those who have that computer he told me "we have gtx 710 it will work fine" and when i asked him if i bought a GTX 750 ti it will run without problems  with that pc cause i don't want gtx 710  , he said something i didn't understand like "hp ,24 bit, motherboard , power , compatible" and "no it wont work" , is that right guys , it wont work  does that system motherboard wont accept this card or what  ? if it will work , is that psu can be changed if i wanted ?, and can i use normal gpu no need for low profile ?

Hi:

 

This guy on YouTube installed a GTX 750ti in the one model older HP 8200 Elite, so if it works in that model, it should work in the newer 8300 Elite too.

 

His model was the small form factor that only has the 240W power supply.

 

The 8300 Elite CMT has a 320W power supply, so that is even better, and the specs for the card require a 300W power supply.

You install the card in the black PCIe x16 slot.  The white one that looks just the same is only a PCIe x4 slot.

 

And here is a video where a guy installed the even newer GTX 1050ti in the 8300 Elite SFF which also only has a 240W power supply.

https://support.hp.com/ch-fr/drivers/selfservice/hp-compaq-elite-8300-microtower-pc/5232859

 

is that updates here like the last one for the bios who is from 19/8/2019 makes it sure that i wont have a compatibility problems with motherboard ?

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

You can update the BIOS if you want, but I don't think it is not necessary to do so.

 

The video with the GTX 1050 is from 2018, so that was done before that BIOS update was released.

thank you

Anytime.

 

Glad to have been of assistance.

 

Please post back after you get your 8300 Elite PC and video card, and let us know how the video card upgrade went.

okay ill try to tell you if i added it or no and which card  , cause i may take gt 1030  even its less powerful than gtx 750 ti but there is a shop here in my country that sell it for around 105$ but new, gtx 750 ti i think they sell it here for more than 150$ new  , buying it used from aliexpress will cost around 510 $ but i need to wait 27 to 39 days
