Answer 1

unless it has a low profile option then no it will not, it does however use very little in the way of power (AMD suggest less than 20w) but it is not going to fit without a LP (low profile) option.

To replace the PSU is going to cost far more than the VGA card, the slimline PSU is very expensive by comparison to the standard size unit.

Answer 2

Negative, that video card will not fit in an HP slimline, You would have to search for a "low profile" video card for this type of machine. As far as power requirements go, you should check on vendors website that builds the cards. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

No. I would not run any graphics card with that low of a PSU. You will overtax your whole system and possibly damage it.



Here are the manufacturers recommendations. A minimum of 400 watts according to AMD.

You should just wait and get a new system. It is very difficult and costly to upgrade a slim form factor pc, and your options are always limited.

Answer 4

180W? no. You'd be able to power the graphics card, but that's it. Nothing else.



You're better off just waiting until you do buy a new PC.
