gpu for slin case with 240w power supply

[err95]

i just bought a cheap old hp dc7900. i bought it because i liked that it runs a dual core processor i have experience with and i figured i could slap a graphics car in it and use it as a simply little stream/ home theater machine. nothing too extreme. 

 

after some research i have been leaning towards this gpu:

however i have heard some hps are not capable of using their 16x slot in this way and i would need to use the 1x slot on the motherboard

does anyone know what the case is with this particular hp

Why wouldn't you be able to use the x16 slot for graphics? It should be fine

this is what I use in my HTPC and it's pretty great, tops out at 80C, which is safe, in a almost fanless case. it's passive which makes the system dead silent
