Would it be possible to upgrade the gpu (gtx 1060 6gb) of my current pc ?
And if yes, with what could I possibly upgrade it with ?
Also if I wanted to upgrade my ram, what should I go for ?

@Mkw_Kevin_K, I am sorry that I forgot to answer your question about the memory. Here is the Motherboard Specifications page: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-pc-690-0000i/19769765/model/26367990...
If you look at the section titled "Memory upgrade informtion" it states that the maximum memory is 32 GB. I suggest using CPU-Z to find the manufacturer and timings of the current memory: https://download.cnet.com/CPU-Z/3000-2086_4-10050423.html
This information is in the Tab titled "SPD". It is not good to mix manufacturers' memory. It isn't always compatible. Here is the memory that is recommended by Crucial Memory: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/pavilion-690-0049nf
You may have to replace the existing memory if it is not compatible with Crucial's memory. If you have further questions about their memory and compatibility with your current memory, you can contact their Tech Support for help.

@Mkw_Kevin_K , 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. Once I have this information I will help you further.

bonjour
en attendant le retour de @old_geekster
Dans la configuration actuelle vous êtes limités , l' alim est seulement de 300w , ensuite à voir si vous avez des connecteurs pci supplémentaires requis pour la carte choisie
L' alimentation est assez difficilement remplaçable , regardez peut être ceci :
donc en théorie vous pouvez installer une carte graphique qui n' a pas besoin de plus de 300w
Après c' est fonction de sa taille, pas d' autre choix il faut mesurer pour vérifier si cela rentre
Et bien entendu du budget !!
[edit] ça peut être long, mais vous pouvez cherchez ici

Hello
waiting for @old_geekster to return
In the current configuration you are limited, the power supply is only 300w, then see if you have any additional pci connectors required for the chosen card.
The power supply is rather difficult to replace, maybe look at this:
so in theory you can install a graphics card that doesn't need more than 300w
After it is a function of its size, no other choice must be measured to check if it fits
And of course the budget !!

Thank you for the additional information, @Mkw_Kevin_K!
You actually have the option of using a 500W power supply unit (PSU) L05757-800. All of the PSU's listed in the Cross-Reference Guide for the 690 series with a Sunflower motherboard will work. This PSU has a 6+2 PCIe power connector. It will allow you to use the GTX 1660 video card: https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-gtx-1660-ventus-xs-6g-oc/p/N82E16814137400?&quicklink=tr...
