@tonyvillesluggr , welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately, you are about at the maximum for video card upgrades.  The cards newer than the GTX 650/660/670 require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.  Your computer was released in May, 2012.  The BIOS can't be upgraded to UEFI.

You are very welcome, @tonyvillesluggr!

I would be glad to help you choose a new HP computer.  If you tell me how you want to use it, I can probably save you money over time by helping you get the most for your money.

You are very welcome, @tonyvillesluggr!  If you do decide to buy a new motherboard to install in your case, keep in mind that HP has their motherboards made to their specs and the front connectors may not be the same as a retail board.
