Product: HP Pavilion HPE h8-1120
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

So, I have an h8-1120 which came standard with a GeForce 530 graphics card and I'd like to upgrade to a GeForce GTX 1060 for use with an HTC Vive.  All other criteria are met to be "Vive" ready according to their website.  What I'd like help on is this:

 

Is my desktop capable of being upgraded to the 1060?

If so, will I need to upgrade anything else to accomodate the new card (bigger PS, for ex.)? currently have a 300W.

Is there anything else that I'm not considering?

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a NO, your machine won't run with GTX 10xx card.  HP does not release higher BIOS for the motherboard on your machine
