Hi:

 

According to the parts list for your PC, it already comes with a PCIe x 16 graphics card installed.

Graphics Card - AMD R7 240 Badger2FH 2GBDDR3 PCIex8

 

If you want to replace the existing graphics card with the GT 710, that would be fine.

 

Just make sure that the low-profile card comes with the standard tower PC mounting bracket, not the low-profile mounting bracket used for slim tower and small form factor desktops.

 

If it is new in box, then it will have the tower bracket installed and the low-profile bracket will be included in the package.
