You are welcome, @Cakencandlez. Thank you for the additional information.
The recommended video cards for Overwatch are the nVidia GTX 660 and the AMD Radeon HD 7950 of better. I believe the GTX 660 would be good. You should measure the space where the card will be installed to assure that it will fit. Measure from the Back I/O plated to the front of the case. The card is 9.5" in length. I believe that it will fit, but it will be very tight.

@Cakencandlez, welcome to the forum.
You are having problems because the video card requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS. HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012. There is no way to upgrade the motherboard to UEFI. The last video cards to not require UEFI are the GTX 660 / 670's. Secure boot wasn't included in Win 7. It comes in Win 8 and later.

@Cakencandlez This has not been the experience on the Forums. There have been many members who have tried to use a GTX 750 without success. The answer in the link that you provided was not exactly correct. In fact, EVGA's Tech Support has told me several times that it won't work with a Legacy BIOS.
