i have always kept my pc up to date with software, either using HP support assistant or windows update.  What I want to do now is to upgrade hardware components to improve multi-tasking ability.  What are my options, from soup to nuts?  What exactly can I upgrade and remain compatible and which would result in a stronger machine?  Thanks in advance.  JIM

Hello
This is already a very good configuration, do you have any particular concerns?
You can replace the graphics card with a more powerful one, but if you need to, as long as the recommended power supply is sufficient!
We have for example PCs with this motherboard equipped:

Must select one of the following options:
  • 500 W Bronze efficiency power supply
  • 750 W Platinum efficiency power supply
Must select one of the following options:
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB) (GDDR5) modified
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB) (GDDR5) modified
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB) (GDDR5) modified SLI
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) (GDDR5X) modified
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) (GDDR5X) modified SLI
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti (11 GB) (GDDR5X) modified
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti (11 GB) (GDDR5X) modified SLI
  • AMD Radeon RX 580 (4 GB) (GDDR5)
  • AMD Radeon RX 580 (4 GB) (GDDR5) CrossFire

maybe it is possible to make a sli with the same 1070, but that I do not have the info

the ssd is small, here, I don't know what it is useful, I suppose that it is just to boost a little, maybe to install a more important SSD, with installation of windows above, but that is likely to be complicated. .
tried this site to see if it indicates a compatible m2!

Welcome to Crucial USA
