I want to upgrade my GPU but i think my motherboard is holding me back [hp 8676 a (smvb)]

[Nine-3]

I was wondering what gpu's are compatible with my current motherboard (looking mostly for an RTX 2060), and if I need to swap out my motherboard also then which one to get since my PC case is smaller.

I suspect you have the 8767 motherboard

Please refer to the following responses by @NonSequitur777 

you will need the 500 watt supply in addition to the GPU in my opinion.

hi @Nine-3 

you must give the exact reference of the computer
it takes several elements, in order to know if a graphics card can be used or not
you have two more examples here

for the graphics card, I often recommend the Asus site with filter options

just 500w

See if others offer it, price/performance may vary...

If you have the idea to replace more than the graphics card (sometimes no choice, you will have to change the power supply as well) The processor, going from 16 gb of ram to 32 gb for example depending on the age of the computer, this might not be advantageous so rather old, what you change may not be able to be reused, unlike the graphics card..Sometimes, for not that much cost, you could have a much newer, more capable computer.
