1.is there any way i can install a graphics card without any hassel
2. if i can will i need a more wattage
3 or is it impossible to a graphics card if i have integrated graphics.

thanks

I use a AMD A8 6600k CPU with integrated graphics but i use my video card instead of those graphics (GTX 550) but if you have a laptop you're 80% likely that you cant replace the GPU :/ more PC specs would help understand your situation.

What is your current PSU? (full name)
There is no other way to install a GPU 'without hassel'

Yea forgot to mention your power supply will need to be able to support it. This is why i hate prebuilt computers. You cant do much with them

I just google my motherboard/ look at manuals and find the GPU slot type, then google GPU's with that slot type and go from there. Put it in, boot up pc, google the latest drivers. Done. Same steps for 4 cards now

i cannot find the PCU or the wattage it puts out. if anyone could find it for me that would be awesome. here is the model HP 500-a60
in the youtube video they had a pc in there that was $100 cheaper than mine and they were able to put a gtx 750 in it with out additional power so i am pretty sure i am good, but im not positive.
