Hi, I have a Envy TE01 - 0034 PC with no graphic card, 16 gb of ram, and i7 8700 COU

I want to see if I can upgrade this to better handle some games and for streaming modded minecraft.

I looked up the motherboard, I have an HP 8653, and I see that is has an unused PCIe 16x (and a single 1x) that I can use for adding a graphic card. How do I know what graphic card is compatible? Also is upgrading the ram and processor worth it?

hi

so https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06443577

Power Supply Type
180 W Gold efficiency power supply

the power supply is probably not powerful enough
you will need at best:

Power Supply Cross Reference for specific models - HP Support Community - 7483923

L05757-800 500w

then read @old_geekster ' s KB

Upgrade Video Card - HP Support Community - 7481981

and this


it's up to you to see then, which graphics card can suit you
as far as possible
the incompatibility here is mainly due to the power supply required

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-envy-desktop-pc-te01-0000i/29014358/product-info

 

comparing the models here, with the same motherboard, you will find examples
but beware, these are HP models, a commercially purchased graphics card may not have the same requirements..
for example I saw an rtx 2060 with 400w power supply

TE01-0907nz Product Specifications
off you can find this model, and recommended 500w

https://www.asus.com/fr/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/dual/dual-rtx2060-o6g-evo/techspec/

and pci 1 x 8 pin connector
