Hi,
I'd like to upgrade my HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p078a
Lubin motherboard
Intel Core i7-7700
NVIDIA GeForce GT730 (4GB)
Am I able to upgrade the graphics card, the processor, the memory, the power supply etc?
I'm happy to purchase a new case in order to make this happen. If anyone can point my in the right direction, that'd be great.
Is my best option to buy a whole new computer, or get a new motherboard?
Thanks

@blobs85 , welcome to the forum.
Here is the Product Specifications page for the computer. If you look at the sections titled Processor/Processor upgrade information and Memory/Memory upgrade information, you will see that the processor and memory are at the maximum. The space for the video card appears to be limited to a single slot. This will limit the power of the card that you can install. You can measure the space to see if there is enough space for a dual slot card. It won't do any good to upgrade the power supply unit (PSU) based on this information.
The one upgrade that will give you some performance increase is a M.2, SSD. There is a socket available for one. As for buying a new computer, you will have to make that call. If you decide to buy one, I will be glad to help you choose one that will meet your needs.
