Thank you for the additional information, @AdyTzZz!
Here is the Motherboard Specifications page: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-desktop-pc-590-p0000a/19390500/document/c05991291
The maximum memory speed is DDR4-2666. You will find this information in the section titled "Memory upgrade information". The maximum memory is 32 GB.
Here is the memory that is recommended by Crucial Memory: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/pavilion-590-p0027nq#memory
I suggest that you contact their Tech Support before buying any of the memory that is rated higher that DDR4-2666. I don't believe that HP has built XMP's into the BIOS/UEFI to overclock the memory above 2666: https://www.pcgamer.com/what-are-xmp-profiles-and-how-do-i-use-them/
If they can assure you that it will work, go for it. They guaranty their memory to work if they recommend it.
Also, you should take a look at the SSD's they recommend. You can find them towards the bottom of the page with the memory. A SSD boot drive will increase system performance considerably. Here is the Upgrading and Service Guide for the computer: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05934592
Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will help you with the transition from a Hard Drive Disk (HDD) to a Solid-State Drive (SSD): https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Knowledge-Base/Upgrading-Desktop-or-Laptop-to-a-SSD/ta-p/73048...

@AdyTzZz , welcome to the forum.
What is the Product Number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. You can find the Product Number at the bottom of the page when you open HP Support Assistant.

I suggest that you go to Crucial's website to get the information: https://www.crucial.com/
The link is working for me.
