ENVY Phoenix 810-370st
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a ENVY Phoenix 810-370st with the following hardware:

  • Motherboard - Pittsburgh 2  IPIWB-PB
  • Graphics card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 745
  • Processor - Intel  i7-4820 CPU@ 3.7 GHz (8 CPUs)
  • BIOS - 8.20
  • Memory - 32 GB RAM
  • PSU - 500W
  • OS - Windows 10 Home 64 bit

Due to a recent purchase of Flight Simulator 2020, I would like to upgrade my graphics card but am unsure if my present system could handle a graphics card upgrade. If so, what would be the maximum upgrade without purchasing  additional hardware, i.e. new motherboard, PSU, etc. I don't really want to change any other hardware if I can help it.
