Someone in this Forum might be able to provide some viable component upgrade options for your current HP PC if you provide a specific HP Product Number.

 

You can upgrade the current SSD to a higher capacity drive.

 

I can tell you a MB/CPU upgrade would also have to be done if you want to migrate from DDR3 memory to DDR4 memory. And the latest MBs, if you take this upgrade path, are using DDR5 memory.

 

You would be building a new PC if you're going to do a new: case, MB, RAM, and power supply.

 

The 1660 Super would fit, with a great amount of room to spare, in any modern Mid-tower ATX case.

 

And you can do any ATX power supply you want to do in a ATX case.

 

I have an AMD 2.5 slot 9070 XT at close to 13 inches in length installed in a mid-tower ATX case.

My pleasure.

 

The installed HP 180 watt power supply would not work with a dual slot nine inch 1660 Super.

 

The Nvidia 1660 Super requires a minimum 300 watt power supply having one eight pin PCIe power connection from the PSU.

 

The MB 24 pin power supply connector location may prevent installing a dual slot nine inch graphics card in the HP MB.

 

And the MB installed in your PC's case is a customized HP MB (8.1 inches by 8.7 inches). The HP MB mounting points may not line up with a standard ATX or uATX retail case MB mounting points.

 

I don't think you can install the customized HP MB in a retail PC case. Maybe someone else in this Forum can verify this.

 

Or talk to a local PC tech to confirm or deny you can move the HP MB to a retail PC case and install a 1660 Super in the HP MB

I don't think Nvidia did a 1060 Ti.

 

But a 1060 is not much different dimensionally when compared to the 1660 Super. Although the 1060 is a slightly longer (.8 inches) dual slot card and the 1060 also requires a 300 watt power supply.

 

You would still have the same upgrade roadblocks with your PC's: case, the HP MB, and the 180 watt HP power supply using a 1060.

 

I can only guess without examining your PC. But I think you might need a new: case, MB, and power supply to do a 1660 Super or a 1060.

 

Have a local PC Tech take a look at your PC. Ask the Tech if it is possible to do what you want to do.

 

I'm sure the Tech can provide advice on how to get the graphics card upgrade done.

OK FIRSTLY SORRY FOR THE WRONG GPU NAME LIKE AFTER CONFRMING I GOT THAT MY MB SUPORTS PCIe x 16 so i can put 1660 super on it and if we talk about our psu its of 180w im gona change it with 550w or 650w ok and also gona change the case
