Possibly Upgrading store bought PC

Flo4sports

So about a year ago, I purchased a prebuilt desktop with some inclination to gaming. The PC is a HP 110-a04, So far, i have made no modifications to the system, but to allow for a wider range of games, i'm planning on buying a GPU. The PC's power supply however is only 180W so ill need to upgrade that as well.

 

Here's a link to the specifications of the PC:

I've been looking at a EVGA 500‑W1‑0500‑KR Power Supply

And for the Graphics, I plan on gettinga GTX 750ti, but i could use a little guidance on who to buy from:

     ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti: http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-NVIDIA-GeForce-PCI-Express-ZT-70601-10M/dp/B00IFZ547Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1448819720&sr=8-2&keywords=zotac+gtx+750ti

    MSI Computer Corp. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Gaming OChttp://www.amazon.com/MSI-OC-PCI-Express-N750TI-2GD5/dp/B00I602S92/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449946146&sr=8-1&keywords=MSI+GeForce+GTX+750Ti+GAMING+DirectX+12+N750Ti+TF+2GD5%2FOC+2GB+128-Bit+GDDR5+PCI+Express+3.0+x16+HDCP+Ready+Video+Card

    ASUS GeForce GTX 750Ti: http://www.amazon.com/GeForce-750Ti-GDDR5-Graphics-GTX750TI-OC-2GD5/dp/B00IB9P1KG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449946437&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+gtx+750ti

 

So my question is: 1. Do you see any issues with this upgrade such as compatibility or bottle-necking.

                                  2. What GPU would you recommend since i am fairly new to this and would like to know which would run best with my system

 

Any help is appreciated, Thank you.

I don't really see any issues with it, any of those gpus would work fine.  Buy from wherever you like.

That PSU is pretty mediocre, even for a 750ti. It's got plenty of wattage but not a very well built unit. Go for the 500B.

This is a double post from earlier, so I will say what was said earlier:

1. EVGA W1 Series PSUs are rubbish

2. Get a 380 4gb if possible

3. There will be no compatibility errors, I have done the same thing myself.
