Hi,

You should have enough room inside your PC but you should do some measuring just in case.  Review this posted document.

Review these HP how-to articles.

Hi,

The power supply in your PC is 460 watts which is more than sufficient.

The posted document on Guide to Selecting a Discrete Video Card will show and explain to you the areas that need to be concerned about when installing a double wide graphics card.  The long black slot (PCI-E x16) is the where the graphics card will be installed inside your PC.

The more important question you did not ask is:  can your machine power supply support the card?
The answer is no.  It will run but is not recommended.  You have a 300 watt power supply.  The card

recommends a 400 watt or greater power supply.  HP Parts Store rarely will supply a 500 watt model,

but usually denies they have one.
