Upgrading graphics card in my pc

[QA08]

Hi there i have an HPSlimline pc Model 260-p109

I want to install  Nvidia Gtx 1050 in the pc and i i want to know that is this graphics card compatible with the pc and are there any other things i need to upgrade in the pc to support the graphics card such as pc case, power supply etc.  Thanks.

I am not familiar with HP Slimlines, but from my experience building PC's. I doubt it very much, it looks very thin, a 1050 is a tiny card, but it's still 112mm high, from Googling your PC it seems it's only 100mm wide. Even if you did have a spare PCI-E slot, you'd still not be able to fit it into the case.

What if i change my pc case will it work then??

The motherboard is more than likely proprietary. I doubt it'll fit in any other case.

I've only used one HP PC before and I tired to cannablise it and upgrade parts, the motherboard standoffs are in non-standard places, PSU's aren't designed to be use in any other PC's etc etc.

I doubt you'll be able to do much. with it, unfortunately. They just aren't designed to be be upgraded much past putting in a new hard drive or another 2-4Gb of RAM inside.
