HI.
The Chipset: H170 should let you work with a GeForce GTX 1050, although the biggest problem that have HP motherboards are the bios, versions with bios greater than 8 have been seen as having to disable bios UEFI and activate bios legacy, although if You want to go for sure a GTX 750 would be running smoothly:
-GeForce GTX 1050 (Little recommended bios problem)

-GeForce GTX 750 (Recommendation)

You will have to change the PSU to at least 400W, the only thing that is going to take into account is the length of the graphic, which will fit well in your SLOT.

Hi thank you very much for this information. What I would like to know is where I could find the psu and if that psu is compatible with the mother board. Also I would like to know if the bios can be changed in order to accommodate the Gefroce GTX 1050.

To see if there is a more current bios version go: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers ,The compatible PSU would be this:

No you can explain to me badly ... You would need a version 8 of bios, of being previous would not be able to assure that the graph works.

Hi I was just wondering if any of these GPU would also be compatible with my computer:
-ATI Radeon HD 7850 2GB
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB – DirectX 11.0
or
-AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB – DirectX 11.1
because i have a certain game that recommends to have these GPU's

the graphics cards recomended will not work with this computer. i know because i have one and those video cards are too big. the problem with this computer is that the connection for the powersupply to the motherboard is right up on top of the PCIE slot. so nothing but a single spaced card will fit. that thick card you recomended will not work in this comp. please check the computer before you recomend cards that dont fit thanks. lmao sigh. some support page.
