Product: Pavilion 590-20
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've had this pc for a bit now and was wondering what I could do upgrade wise, the motherboard is called "sunflower" I've upgraded the ram and added an ssd card but was wondering what else I could upgrade. I know the motherboard doesnt allow a lot of graphics cards to fit but I'd like to make my PC more powerful, if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them, thanks

You could move to a bigger case and get a bigger PSU. I’ve installed a GTX 970 in a HP 290 G2 even though it says it’s not supported. It’s been working fine for two weeks now.

If you need guidance with the PSU see the post below. It won't be the exact process for you but it's somewhere to start.
