lol JK. Yes, that is the exact spitting image of the inside of my PC. And Following yours (and various other) instructions, I got the stuff into my computer. And I can already tell the difference. The graphics are sharper, more clear, and much more colorful. And the computer is MUCH quieter as well. But that card and power supply are as powerful as I'm gonna be able to go with this computer probably. I'll likely have to buy a different computer and start modifying again from the ground up, since HP is so annoying to mess with.
Glad to hear your PC is up and running. Considering the resolution you play at, that GPU should allow you to play at High or Max settings.

Indeed upgrading brand name PCs are a pain, they purposely make it difficult so you would go to them for your upgrade needs, then charge you 4x the price and take 1+ month to do it. Instead of buying a PC and upgrading, next time just build your own. You now already have experience with installing a power supply and video card, the only new thing will be installing a motherboard which is pretty straight forward. Building your own will not only allow you to pick the best parts at the best price but also leave room for further upgrade options in the future.

Good Luck with your upgrade PC and have fun in ARR; feel free to ask if you have any further questions/issues. ^^
