Hi @Andrej5566,

Thanks for contacting us on HP Forums, I understand that you are looking to upgrade the graphics card on your computer. I would like to provide my suggestion. 

Firstly, I would like to inform you that HP does not recommend you to change the configuration of the computer, you can do so at your own risk.

The specification of your computer is http://hp.care/2gSJany

The motherboard on your computer has 1 PCI Express x16

The specification of the graphics card you are looking to install is http://hp.care/2gSEuOt

The graphics card selected by you requires PCI-E 3.0 x 16 slot, which is not available on the motherboard. 

Hope this answered your concern.

Your PC has a legacy BIOS so the newer UEFI enabled graphics cards are not going to work.

Try one of the below HP certified graphics cards.

If you need higher performance than the above mentioned cards then you will need to replace the power supply and acquire a legacy graphics card. The NVIDIA GTX 660 would be a good choice along with a 500 watt power supply.
