This is going to be a long drawn out affair ! HP 590-p0066 is circa April 2018, and only has an I5-8400.
Here is COD Modern Warfare requirements
His CPU can not stand the requirements for Competitive or Ultra RTX.
A CPU chip upgrade for either the I7-8700 or I7-9700 is $320-330. Strange both are the same price range.
Without even picking a GPU card "length" it's about $400-$900 per level of card.
Then you have the 500W HP proprietary PSU at about $110-140 (different vendor).

It would be nice to know a sample game title. Gaming is a combination of CPU, RAM, GPU and PSU. Any of the 1st three can be a bottleneck. The last, the PSU, is needed to fulfill the component operations. Your computer utilizes a proprietary HP designed power (PSU) supply. Here is a spreadsheet. All of these models use the same PSU design. Your model is within the 590 series.
