@freshflyingfish,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

The literature suggests at least a GTX 970 4GB.  You can purchase a GTX 970 for around £50 via eBay-UK: Gtx 970 for sale | eBay.

 

Mind you, most GTX 970 graphics cards require two 6-pin PCIe power cables, so this card would only work if you got the 700-watt power supply.  If you got a 525-watt power supply, you'll have to go for a GTX 1650, which doesn't require any PCIe power cables.  (It isn't clear to me if the 525-watt power supply has any PCIe power cable(s).)

 

Kind Regards,
