To be honest, I wouldn't put that much money into an HP. You might be able to swap out the PSU on that machine, but you might run into issues. Also, since you are in Canada, try Tiger Direct. Their web site is less confusing, and they have decent prices. I don't know if I would put that good of a graphics card in that machine. I don't think it does it justice. Try looking at something like a GeForce 8800GT or a Radeon 4850.
