My computer is completely stock, I wanna run cyrsis but I need a new video card, What card should Iget under $250are there any cards that can run it well with a 300w power supply, or if I need a new power supply any recommendations.

your best bet is to buy a new power supply and a video card. something like an antec earthwatts 430 and an 8800 gt when the come out on the 29thinyourface_12

That will not work. He is trapped in the same situation I am, the hp cases are too small for any of the modern graphics cards. The most you can get for your comp. is an Nvidia 8600gts, and for that, you will need to get a bit bigger power supply. I have measured, and these hp cases are not big enough for the 9 inch cards that other people have in their custom built comps.

FYI, the new Pavilion Elite models must use a different motherboard, because Amazon has a model with an 8800GTS in it.

Is possible to run 8800GT on a 300W.

if it has more then 16 amps.
