Hi i am a newbie on here so go easy on me :)
I am looking to upgrade my graphics card on my HP Pavillion H8 1250 desktop running win 10 with a Intel I7 2600 @3.4 ghz with 14 gb ddr3 ram and a Nvidea Geforce GT 530 graphics card ,my display is a LG FLATRON E2351 23" screen with 5ms responce time so i have a budget 0f £350 and a case that does not have a great deal of space so may have to rig up a harness for the graphics card fo money saving or push to a new larger case worse case scenario so advice most welcome thanks in advance .
 
What model/ brand is the PSU?
Sadly no brand name off HP website just spec after trawling the internet so maybe there own brand
Internal 460W (100V-240V)

Form Factor: internal ATX
Total wattage: 460W
Nominal input voltage range:
100-127V/3A (50-60Hz)
200-240V/2A (50-60Hz)
Dimensions: 150mm x 140mm x 86mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches)
 
Its a Delta 460W,most likely a DPS 460CB which was used in the models which also had a GTX460. Its getting a bit old so hence that is why I recommended a newer PSU.

Regarding the case,this is what it looks like inside:

Due to the way the cabling is arranged in the case,a shorter card would be better.
thanks for that and your recommendation on a shorter card ? under £250 ?
