you are better off copying and pasting the specs in rather than linking to a competitors site.

A mATX board will fit, according to this:

Motherboard Name: H-Aira-RS780L-uATX

Source: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...portFAQ&prodSeriesId=4269950&prodTypeId=12454

As uATX is another way of saying mATX.

So yes, that Bundle will fit nicely, good upgrade too.

Would I need to upgrade anything else, also is there any sort of guide on fitting one of these as I've never fitted any pc parts before ?

Your mobo manual will have most, if not all the info you need. You can also have a look at video build tutorials.

So basically I just take out the old motherboard and put the new one in ? Also could the built in GPU play games like pay day the heist and blacklight retribution ?

Pc-Gamer12 · 31 May 2013 at 18:46

Would anyone recommend any cheaper options of the component I chose that could still play the games mentioned above ?

Idleman · 31 May 2013 at 19:07

Trinity would seem to be your best bet. What sort of budget do you have?

Pc-Gamer12 · 31 May 2013 at 19:24

As little as possible, I just want to play games like pay day the heist and counter strike go, would the component I suggested not be good enough ?

Pc-Gamer12 · 1 Jun 2013 at 18:38

Any other suggestions, would the component i suggested be able to play the games I listed ?
