Thank you for your response. May I ask you an additional question: The requirement for Radeon HD 6850 graphics card is 500 watt PSU. However, the factory-made desktop comes with a 460 watt PSU. Can I purchase and install a new card with same watt requirement, such as the XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition? Bios Mode Legacy.
