Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Your HP Pavilion Desktop - TP01-0038nl (8KZ27EA), according to: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06460296, is fitted with the Rother motherboard (SSID: 8653), and a 310-watt power supply -please verify.
An RTX 3060 Ti requires at least a 500-watt power supply. Fortunately, there is a compatible 500-watt power supply available for your motherboard, with HP p/n: L05757-800, which can be purchased online, such as here: L05757-800 - Power Supply PSU 500W - Envy 795-0003UR Desktop | eBay.
[EDIT #1:] You'll have to ascertain how to best purchase one of these power supplies in Italy.
[EDIT #2:] IMPORTANTE: If you go with the 500-watt L05757-800 power supply, either purchase an RTX 3060 Ti that can be powered with ONE 8-pin PCIe power cable, OR if the RTX 3060 Ti requires to be powered with a 12-pin PCIe cable, purchase a dual 6(8)-pin PCIe to 12-pin PCIe power cable adapter, such as seen here: Amazon.com: chenyang CY 12Pin to ATX Dual 8Pin & 6Pin Splitter GPU Graphics Card Modular Cable for 3....
[EDIT #3] I would recommend purchasing (either new, refurbished or used) one of the smaller-sized one 8-pin PCIe powered RTX 3060 Ti versions, such as one of these:
ASUS DUAL RTX 3060 Ti MINI 8GB GDDR6
OEM Dell RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6
EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC LHR 8GB GDDR6
GIGABYTE RTX 3060 Ti EAGLE 8GB GDDR6
MSI RTX 3060 Ti TWIN FAN 8GB GDDR6
