@njb928 , welcome to the Community.
Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will tell you what to consider when upgrading the video card: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Knowledge-Base/Upgrade-Video-Card/ta-p/7481981
The three main things to consider are: 1) the length of the card. The article will explain how to measure the space to assure there is enough space for good airflow. 2) the wattage required to run the card properly and 3) does the card require any 1x6-pin, 1x8-pin or both PCIe power connectors.
Here is the Product Specifications page: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-obelisk-desktop-pc-875-0000a/23302709/model/23574497...
If you look at the section titled "Video graphics"/Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB) it gives you all of the information on the current card. It appears that your 500W PSU has One 2x3 (6 pin) PCIe power connector. If you want to add a card that requires more power you will have to upgrade the PSU, as well.
Here is a card that will work with your existing PSU: https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-1650-tuf-gtx1650-o4gd6-p-gaming/p/N82E16814126445
It has 4 GB of video memory and only requires a 300W PSU and 1x6-pin PCIe power connector. If you want more video memory (6 or 8 GB) you will most likely have to upgrade the PSU. Read the Customer Reviews to see what users have to say about the card.
With the information that I provided, you should be able to determine which other cards will work with your system.
If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
