What is the max physical size (length and height) GPU that i can install into my hp 795-0037cb

[Deusvult378428]

Im gonna start off my saying I am not an expert in PC building but am slowly and surely figuring things out. I have tinkered with my PC by replacing the RAM and installing an nvme ssd.

I have an HP Envy 795-0037CB with an intel core i7-8700 and a 400w PSU. It also has a PCIE x16 slot.

I understand I would need to choose a GPU that can be powered by the 400w PSU. I think i saw a 6 pin connector that is supposed to supply supplementary power to a GPU. What I dont know is what is the max physical size (length and height) GPU I can put in? 

I am hoping someone can help me out with this? I thank you in advance for your help.

@Deusvult378428,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Your HP ENVY Desktop - 795-0037cb (3LA26AA) as fitted with a Berks motherboard (SSID: 844C) and powered by a 400-watt power supply (p/n: L04618-800), which is equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power cable:

With this 400-watt PSU and PCIe power cable, you can power up to a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable such as this competitively priced/quality purchase example via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-DisplayPort-Axial-tech-Technology-Auto-Extreme/dp/B0CVPDY3HN/ref=sr_1_2?....

Selecting a graphics card depends on your budget.  There are less expensive graphics card options, such as the GTX 1660 Ti, such as this purchase option via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-192-bit-Support-Graphics/dp/B082XLXF58/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2S8SRI7AN..., or an RTX 3050: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N3050WF2OC-6GD/dp/B0D4XZXLL7/ref=sr_1_....

Hope this was helpful.
