I need a 400$ PC in CAD currency think of a r7 250 or 250x and don't use bad parts
What is your watage for you power supply?
I am not expert builder but I think you may need like 500 watts or 400 watts to run a decent graphics card. It may not be good if it is proprietary to HP.

Well, all that aside... he has to find a shortened GPU, which are fairly hard to find now, and generally suck. I say sell the thing if you can... and build something... I have no clue what you bought it for, but it was not worth it.
You might be able to salvage the cpu/ram and hdd then just grab yourself a psu/case/mobo and gpu that might be the best option for you to save a bit of money and not have to start from scratch.
I know it's not ideal however you are quite limited if you stay with your current setup.
He could but those types of builds from my experience use almost laptop parts. I wouldn't be surprised to find that i5 is a laptop i5 making it a dual core running at 30~watts. Also the power more than likely doesn't use a 24 pin connector but if it does then the power supply could theoretically just be swapped out for a 430W builder series or something else fairly cheap but not garbage and throw in something like a 260x or 960 etc. I'd worry too highend of a gpu would just get bottlenecked by the cpu.
I totally agree, it might be a situation where a complete new build is in order
Ok so on my old thread people told me to take the parts from the computer can put them into a new one so my computer is a hp 8200 elite i5 2500 with 240w power supply so I want to take my motherboard,cpu ram storage to my new computer and i have 175$ to get a new psu case and gpu help me
One post was moved.
And OP, can I advise that you make the title of your thread bit more informative rather than a simple word next time?
Yes, when asking for build help please be as descriptive as possible. The more details the better, so throw it at us :D
I did the admin just moved my topic to this one
This is the the old topic is was referring too but then he moved it I already solved this one just read the last comment from

buy used or save your money up. and if your case hase the removable expansion slot covers then keep it for a while because your going to want to get a non-crap psu and if you want to game at 1080p then your going to want to get more than a $100 gpu
I do have a case but it is a case from 2005 with a emachines system it is ancient
Ok so you need a new PSU, case, and GPU for $175 or under? Hmm this is gona be a tough one.
Just gathering some information:
Looks like the CPU is LGA1155 socket
Here's the manual:

Anyone know what size MOBO this is?
@varshil92 could you measure the motherboard and give us the dimensions? This could help when looking for cases.
Ok should take a while
it looks like uatx
Can get to the motherboard the power supply and optical drive are in the way
