HP Pavilion p7-1216 Desktop PC
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi! I'm really new to any kind of upgrading on PCs so I was wondering what the best GPU is that would fit in my case. I have an HP Pavilion p7-1216 desktop that I want to use for gaming and maybe video editing/3d rendering. I just purchased 16g of RAM and am planning on getting a i7-3770 processor. That being said, what GPU will work with the CPU and also fit in my case? All the GPUs I've seen look really big. Thank you so much for all the help!

hi

Motherboard - Joshua ?

nothing here :

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-p7-1200-desktop-pc-series/5187022/model/5231623/pro...

power supply 250 w / 300w  ?

 

in theory if you have a bios version 8.xx v
you could install a recent card
But you will have to check the dimensions
if need pci power supply connector
the power recommended by the dealer
you mention replacing the processor..
to see therefore replacement graphics card, power supply, processor
The case may not be ideal..
and age of the computer, depending on the cost, it may not be worth it

see @old_geekster ' kb

Upgrade Video Card
