Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC, which lists the graphics cards offered in the model series.

I checked the driver page for your PC and it appears that it comes with a BIOS version 8.1x, so the Nvidia GT 730 should work.

You may have to disable secure boot in the BIOS because the PC may not like the card since it was not offered in the model series.

See this link for the settings to change.
