It would be more than appreciated if you could help me so as to I could Upgrade my system. My system has these information:

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 
System Manufacturer: HP
System Model: HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p0xx

Available OS Memory: 16272MB RAM

Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 630
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

I need to install these item into my PC to run my simulation in the university:

• Dedicated GPU graphics card with at least 6 GB of VRAM.
• 32+ GB of RAM 
• 2.4 GHz or faster Intel 4-core Xeon or i7 CPU (or AMD equivalent).
• 2 TB of local hard disk storage.

I want to know that how could I find out for example, GGPU graphics card with at least 6 GB of VRAM that I will buy, will fixed and worked on my PC. On the other hand, I want to know what will be the limitation for upgrading of my system?

 Thanks a lot

Thank you for the additional information, @Mahmoud408!  However, this information still doesn't give me what I need.  Please use HP Support Assistant and look for the Product Number at the bottom of the page.  Get the latest version of HPSA here:  https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html

Thank you for the additional information, @Mahmoud408!  In the future, please do not post the Serial Number of your computer/s.  If the wrong person gets this information they can steal your computer and claim it is theirs.  I have asked the Mods to remove it.

Here are three HP Knowledge Base articles that will help you with your upgrades:

1) Upgrading Processor and Memory:  https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Knowledge-Base/Upgrade-Processor-Memory-or-both-HP-Desktop-Comp...

2)  Upgrading Video Card:  https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Knowledge-Base/Upgrade-Video-Card/ta-p/7447100

3)  Upgrading Desktop to a SSD:  https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Knowledge-Base/Upgrading-Desktop-to-a-SSD/ta-p/7304861

I know that you already have a M.2, SSD, but it is definitely not adequate for the latest games and apps.  You can either add a larger M.2 or buy a SSD, such as, a Samsung 860 EVO (1 GB) for storage.  I have a 512 GB, M.2, Samsung 970 Pro for my boot drive and a 1 TB, Samsung 860 EVO for my storage.  I install my games on the EVO.  I don't notice any difference in the game play at all; even at the highest settings.

One bit of valuable information that I mention in my articles is, the manufacturer's Tech Support can be extremely helpful when determining the best components for your computer.  You can tell them what you want to do and they can tell you which of their components will be best.  Also, you can tell them how much you want to spend. 

If you have further questions, let me know.
