Hi:

 

You can't upgrade the graphics in that 400 G3 DM

 

You can only put a graphics card in the SFF and MT models only.

 

See the quickspecs, page 18. Notice that there are no graphics options for the DM.  Onboard Intel graphics only.

I have the HP ProDesk 400 G3

HP Recommended

OK.

 

I misunderstood.

 

Yes, that card will work just fine in your 400 G3 MT

 

If you want, you can also install the GeForce 1030 GT, which is slightly newer and uses a bit less power than the 730 GT.

I saw on internet that the power supply give 180w and the card need 300w to work stable. Is it true?

 

HP Recommended

According to page 28 of the specs at the link below, the GT 730 was offered by HP as an optional card on the SFF and MT models, so I would have to assume the card should work with the 180W power supply, as long as it doesn't have the 65W processor.

 

Note this statement on page 28...

 

Discrete (optional)
Not allowed when 180W chassis and 65W processor both are selected on 400/480/490/498 MT

 

You may want to upgrade the power supply to the 300W power supply mentioned on page 77.

i have the intel i5-6500 cpu 3.20ghz 3.19ghz. will be ok or i need to buy new power supply?

Hi:

 

You would need to upgrade the power supply to the 300W model.

 

The specs for the processor your PC has indicate that it is one of the 65W processors.

My power supply give 10A 250V~. Will be ok? I don't know how many watts is this

HP Recommended

There should be a wattage spec on the label.

 

I don't know how many watts that 10A 250V is either.

 

That is a different spec.
