Product: hpe-337c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an hpc-337c Pavilion PC with at 300 watt power supply.  I want to upgrade the video card to an 8GB card.  However, the video card specifications call for a minimum 450 watt power supply with an 8 pin power connector for the card.

 

I realize the PC is 9+ years old but it has 16GB memory, upgraded hard drives, external drives, monitor, etc.  

 

I see there are several vendors who offer higher wattage power supplies, but I have no way of knowing what will fit inside my hpe-337c case.   Does anyone know of a higher power supply that will fit my hpe-337c Pavilion case?

@GS1100GK,

Please stop now.  Your unit is circa 2010, and has a BIOS that can not be upgraded. It can not use modern graphic cards (manufactured after Aug 2012).

This system is feedback driven thru Solution and Kudo flags. It's the only means of knowing if you have been served. Please click Accept as Solution, if your problem is solved. To say THANK YOU, press the "thumbs up symbol" to render a KUDO. You can render both Solution and KUDO..
