Greetings,
Welcome to the forum.
I am not a HP employee.
The Intel Z75 chipset is circa 2012. This chipset and processor could be a bottleneck depending on game requirements.
You can do a newer graphics card because you have the required motherboard UEFI BIOS.
You have a 460 watt power supply. This could be an issue.
The latest high powered graphics cards may require 500 + watt power supplies. You also may need up to two supplemental eight pin PCIe connections from the power supply to the graphics card.

has many valid points. By today's standards, an I7-3770 is a handicap.
How about naming just 2 games you really wanted to play.
