What is the exact model # of this HP. If your a gamer, state the most intense game. Just 1.

Your choice of card is OK, and it would drop into place OK, but why did you pick a 1660 ?

Sadly stating you play Call of Duty is like stating you own a Ford. Too many variations since 2003.

In your email, which I will response to "here", you mentioned RTX series card.  Those cards are months in the back-order process. I want a certain RTX 3070, but that card is likely a 2 month wait.  Now to your added inquiry.

Any card is possible IF it fits.  You need to measure the length of the slot area.  Your HP 875-0014 has a 9.45" board, so you cut a piece of rigid cardboard 4.3 x 12 inches and attempt to drop it along the slot.  Cut off to fit. That determines card length. All card manufacturers create their cards, and that means different lengths.  Then it becomes the PSU part of the equation !!! A corsair CX650M is an exact fit.(5.51" depth).   A corsair CX750M is longer (6.3") in depth, and will not latch. See 1:45-1:55 mark.
