AMD II Athlon X4 6xx/6xxe (P)

AMD II Athlon X3 4xx/4xxe ®)

AMD II Athlon X2 2xx/2xxe ®)

1 PCI x16 slot for graphics card

300w psu - you might want to upgrade that, if you get a new graphics card.

You can upgrade to a better phenom II x4 and you should be able to upgrade to an x6 (tho the chipset your motherboard uses is old, may require a bios update to do that).

Yes you can add a graphics card, as the graphics that comes on that computer blow. Just get any pci-e x16 graphics card. (ofcourse you will need to think about size requirements of your case as well as power consumption of the card).

I couldnt find what psu your computer came with, but you can open the side and look at the output wattage on the sticker. You will most likely need a new PSU if upgrading graphics.

tbh i would just upgrade the psu/graphics and hold off on the processor, your processor should be good enough for most all gaming, its just your crap graphics really hold it back.

Hp site shows cpu options

HD4350 is a low power low bandwidth card and usually

low profile too for small form factor pc's.

your 300 watt supply is a bit low for powerful graphics but should be

ok for some of the 5000 series, especially if you choose the lowest power ones.

Personaly i would sell it and then get everything i want and build it.

You could upgrade if the motherboard can support what you are looking fro the moment

You can upgrade ANY part of your desktop machine as long as you or the person doing it knows how.
