HP Desktop a6120n, thats all I need to know.
It does have a PCI-e x16 slot, so it can support the latest graphics cards. It also has 3 more card slots.
Installing one of these cards is actually incredibly simple and there is a section in your manual that explains it.
If I'm right, this PC is a HP A6120N Pavilion Desktop which should have the following:
Expansion Slots
2 PCI slots /1 available
1 PCI E x1 slot /available
1 PCI E x16 slot /available
The GPU is onboard so doesn't take up a slot. The unfortunate thing is I am pretty certain this model only has a 250W power sully unit (PSU) which will limit your graphics card (GPU) options severely.

What graphics card you can recommend me?:P
nvidia?
Intel Chipsets perform slightly better on AMD video cards. Also AMD video cards are the best value right now.
3870,3870x2,4850,4870,4870x2 all great cards
spnds how mush you wanna spend
March on! - Lets Invade Pekopon
So,what graphics card?can i have a model for a best one?
around 150-200$?
that you can recommend to me
3870,3870x2,4850,4870,4870x2
what do you means by these number which cards?:P
nvidia, radeon?
The best one in that range is the AMD HD4850. It runs around $175 and outperforms all other cards under $250.
