Can i upgrade HP Desktop 190-0068a

[DamienDamien]

Recently bought myself a HP Desktop 190-0068a and I want to upgrade the processor, graphics & ram.

My questions are:

1. Is it worth it?
2. If its worth it, what can i upgrade it with?

3. If yes, how do I do it?

Hello
it depends on the use of the computer ..
Before replacing everything in this machine, because I guess it is still guaranteed?
I would advise to start only by adding memory
4 GB being a bit tight you can install at least 8 GB

Memory

4 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB)

Another small contradiction at HP, because it is mentioned this for the motherboard:

motherboard specifications, VinsonC

• ual channel (2 DIMM per channel) memory architecture
• Two DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets
• Supports up to PC4-23400 (DDR4-2933)
• Supports 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB DDR4 UDIMMs
• Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit systems

  note:

  32-bit systems cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

• Supports up to 16 GB (unbuffered) on 64-bit computers

  note:

  Maximum memory shown reflects the capability of the hardware and can be limited further in the operating system.

I advise you to try to check what is in place (memory module) and to buy exactly the same module.

Welcome to Crucial USA

it seems to me that the graphics card is integrated, but since it is mentioned:

190-0068a Product Specifications

180 W external AC power adapter

if this is the case it may be limited to add one!
we can maybe see some models with pc equipped with the same motherboard and power supply here:

Thank you.

I want to use it for gaming, I will install 8GB of ram and see if that improves the overall performance

I'm sorry to announce that, but this computer is not the best for playing
You can certainly play some games, but you will have to pay attention to the recommended configuration
From what I saw next, it seems to me that there is no example of a graphics card with this model, and it should not be possible to install that a card not too powerful!
Please mark the answer if it is appropriate

Thank you again.

I did start to think that would be the case.
