HP Pavilion Gaming - TP01-1105t
Microsoft Windows 11

I got a game that recommends NVIDIA RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700XT (minimum NVIDIA GTX 970/1650 or AMD Radeon R9 290X). I've never upgraded graphics before, so I hope someone out there with the same model desktop can let me know if the motherboard, power source & dimensions of the tower can handle one of these cards.

The specs of your machine is

The NVIDIA RTX 2070  requires machines with 650W or greater PSU. The specs shows your machine only has  180 W Gold efficiency power supply therefore new card won''t run.  You need heaps more of power for your machine
