Hello, HP Community. I've run into an issue that I cannot otherwise figure out how to solve, even with the amount of research I tried to do. I am not a hardware person, I would appreciate this being explained as simply/clearly as possible!
My HP Desktop - M01-F1033wb is experiencing poor graphics performance despite a clean install of Windows 11 along with completely resetting my PC. The integrated graphics are struggling, resulting in low FPS when running games. To improve performance, I'm considering adding a dedicated graphics card like the Nvidia RTX 4060. I am unsure about how to install/choose a dGPU, as well as compatible PSU upgrades. I am also wondering whether a 500W PSU would suffice/be possible. Ultimately seeking a solution to upgrade the graphics without replacing the PC due to sentimental value.
Specs:
Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i3 10th gen (Comet Lake)
16 GB DDR4
1TB SSD
Gift from the wife about a year ago
GPU stats when benchmarked with Novabench:
Workload:
Direct3D 11 4 FPS
Compute 153 GFLOPS
Memory transfer:
On-Device Test Failed
Host to device Test Failed
Thanks in advance!

Hello AsherF03, how are you ?
Checking the specifications of his motherboard, he doesn't bring me the video card he wants to add as compatible. Just the same one that is currently in use.
Answering the question of the power supply, it does not have a 500W configuration, just the current 180W one.
Here at partsurfer, you have all the parts for this product.

Hello,
I usually strictly follow the product manual, so I even gave you partsurfer to check it out.
He doesn't really describe the pieces he wants to use.
