HP Pavilion 510-p136 upgrades

[sdrumm113]

Hello all. New to HP and this forum....a few questions...

I can replace anything in a pc, just don't have a clue what to get for replacement hardware. I want to add a video card and power supply and have no idea what to get...the system is as follows...

6th gen i7-6700T processor 2.8GHZ up to 3.6

8GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM

Intel onboard 530 graphics 

180 internal PS

PCI-E Gen 3x16 socket

I plan on doing music recording, maybe a game or two, and also plan on upgrading/adding RAM. I can go up to 16GB.

Thank you in advance for all the info and help.

@sdrumm113 Welcome to HP Forums Comunity!

I suggest you go through the details of your motherboard to understand what kind of graphics card you can upgrade: Click here for details,

that said, here are the requirements you need to keep in mind:

• One PCI-E (GEN 3) x16 socket -  for Graphics card.

• Internal 180 W PSU - Power Supply Unit

(As an upgrade/custom enthusiast I personally love the idea of upgrading the device as well, However, HP recommends that you go easy on it as the device is equipped with parts that perform at its optimal performance and also, the upgradeable parts listed above are purely for your ease, though the decision to upgrade will be at your own discretion)

I cannot suggest a specific graphics card for an upgrade if that's what you need, instead, you can go through a local tech to identify which card works with your device before purchasing it.

I hope that answers your query,
