Can I install this in my computer?

I want to upgrade my graphics card, however, that requires me to upgrade my power supply (currently 300 watts)

This is my computer:

Right now I have a Radeon HD 6570 installed and I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 6870, will I be able to use that in my PC?

I am also upgrading the power supply to this:

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Certified-Compatible...

Is that compatible with my PC? If not, what could I buy that would be compatible?

Thanks for the help, anything is appreciated.

    You should be able to. It has a PCI-E 2.0 slot so the video card will work. That PSU should work, the only reason I could see it not working is because a size difference, but HP usually uses the standard ATX size in those types of computers so you should be good.
