It is normal for it to get warm to the touch. However check that the PSU fan is spinning properly and the vents and fan are not dirty or dusty as well as the inside of you case. You need to look on the inside of the Case and see what the brand and wattage (W) rating of the PSU is.

oh ok i will do that maybe more suggestions

[GeneralAres]

If you would like more suggestions regarding the PSU, then you need to provide the PSU info I requested.

i will look inside the pc in a moment then i will tell you

[NvidiaDude]

yes i found out the PSU and all it is a 250W PSU but im getting a 600W PSU so that should be better

You have to make sure it is compatible with your case and mainboard, HP does not always use a standard ATX PSU. As for a 600 watt, that is completely unnecessary. You are better off getting a better brand like one from PC Power and Cooling, Antec and Enermax.
