It's an HP. I just bought this PC about 2 months ago.

Model?

You probably don't want to open up your PC because its new in which case your...

That and the fact its likely to have a 350W PSU (power supply unit) to power a new GPU to run you new monitor.

It was like 1300 with the monitor. Where the hell can i see the model??

I just opened it up and there is one slot opened. I have no idea what it is for there is only one tho. Is it for a ram stick a graphics card or it does not matter?

Hmmm, 1300 for that spec? who sold you it? it sounds like you have been ripped off.

Is the slot Horizontal or vertical? and yes it does matter.

Here are some pictures from inside the PC. For the power unit all I can see it 160 watts since its a really small PC everything is stacked in. Will that do for a graphics card the open slot?

To everyone & DannyD ...forget it sorry but thats it. :no:

Your integrated GPU (Nvidia GeForce 6150SE) is almost identical to mine (Nvidia GeForce 6150LE). It wasn't very good due to the fact that it was an integrated GPU; it shares resources with the CPU causing CPU loads to increase and overall performance to decrease.

My solution to the problem was buying a 8500GT, although it is no longer a good video card, it is a hell of a lot better than that 6150, and it is only around 30-40 bucks. (check TigerDirect.com)

you paid $600 for a monitor at 1440x900? :|

you paid $1300 for this system :|

take it back... ripped off.

that case is really too small to handle a modern GPU.... and 160W is way too little to power one.

sorry man, you got ripped off.

i think if you bought it 2 months ago, you're out of luck with the taking it back

if you want to play games and not get ripped off with the 'gaming' computers that manufacturers sell (blue flasy lights etc) i heartily recommending sourcing your own parts and building it yourself

It sucks that generally, you always buy one or two overpriced PC's from a company like HP or shops like Best Buy before you realize your getting ripped off. Hopefully this time you'll actually know what to look out for, OR at least have some idea with a little help from the people here :)

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.

      This might work, but the boot menu F12 only shows hdd and dvd+/- and Niks In the bios all usb are enabled. the usb stick is in place and in the boot menu it does not show up in the bios boot order.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
