Why are you running a 2 grand PC on a 300 watt PSU?

Cuz thats what the dicks at HP give you

You most definately will have problems with your current setup.

Once you start utilizing the full capability of your graphics card, the lack of enough current will cause dropouts and jerky game play.

Not saying it won't be usable, though the experience will be less than what you'd hope for.

o manufactured computers usually have pci slots anyways? or were you planning on getting an agp, agp and pci use different voltages so make sure you figure that out
but i agree with VB

Pci-e.. EDIT: I couldnt go thru the problems of actually building a comp, thought this one would be sufficient for the my needs.

Before you go any further, check that you've actually got a pci-e x16 slot. Major manufacturers like HP and Dell keep their prices down by leaving out basic upgrade paths such as that.
