The specs of your machine is

  • CPU: Please only use CPU's on the list,
  • Video: It has MXM slot for a video card. Finding MXM vedie card from retails is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. Please note, its PSU is only 120W you need to find the right one which is UNDER 35W.

My suggestion
