I've owned this PC for a couple of years now, since 2018 or 2019. It's a very good computer in my opinion, but I have been thinking about getting a graphics card for it, as it only includes an Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630. Of course, if I do get a graphics card for the computer, I will also need to upgrade my power supply.
I'm not sure what graphics card and power supply would be compatible with my PC, so I really don't know where I should begin with this upgrade. I don't need anything really cutting-edge, but it would be nice to have a decent graphics card that would match the other specs of my machine. And, likewise, a power supply that would "fit" (?) into the tower and provide the juice to power everything.
I don't consider myself to be a big "PC Gamer", but I do enjoy World of Warcraft now and then, and it would be nice to play the game with something more impressive than what I've got under the hood right now. I've been told within the past year or so that the processor and RAM I've got is sufficient, and that the main thing holding this rig back is its lack of a proper graphics card.
If anybody can recommend some good options for me, I'd appreciate that. And I'm not entirely sure what it would run me to get a graphics card and power supply for my PC, but something reasonably-priced would be appreciated.
Thanks to anybody who takes the time to look into my question and offer a response.

Welcome to our HP community forum!
There's good news in store (pun intended) for you.
Your HP Pavilion 595-p0084 (3LA58AA) as fitted with a Lincs motherboard (SSID: 843B), is compatible with these power supply upgrades:
p/n: L64961-800 (310-watt)
p/n: L04618-800 (400-watt)
p/n: L05757-800 (500-watt)
So, cost/performance/benefit-wise, I would suggest the 400-watt power supply -which you can purchase online, such as via this Trusted eBay Seller: 400W Power Supply L04618-800 For HP 280 288 285 480 600 680 800 G3 G4 942332-001 | eBay, and with this 400-watt power supply, you can power a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 model, powered by a single 8-pin PCie power cable, such as this competitively priced Amazon purchase option: Amazon.com: PNY GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti 8GB VERTO™ OC Dual Fan Graphics Card DLSS 3 (128-bit, PCIe 4.0,....
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Thank you for the response, and these suggestions!
I will have to look into getting a power supply soon, and then pick up a graphics card eventually.
I've bookmarked both pages for future reference.
Much appreciated.
I will keep checking back in case any other users should happen upon this thread and have any other suggestions to offer.

The 310-watt power supply (p/n: L64961-800) appears to be more expensive than the 400-watt power supply, as it is only offered for sale by one Seller via eBay for twice the price of a 400-watt power supply.
Other, less expensive graphics card options to be powered by the 400-watt power supply are: GTX 1650, GTX 1650 Super, GTX 1660, GTX 1660 Super, GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 3050.
