@ogol7, welcome to the forum.
The motherboard is compatible with the GTX 1080. However, there are two things to consider:
1) the length of the video card. Most of them are at least 10.5" in length. You should measure from the Back I/O ports to the front of the case to assure there is enough space for it.
2) does your power supply unit (PSU) (600W) have the appropriate supplemental power connector/s? The ones that I have reviewed have at least one 8-pin power connector.
Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.

wrong forum, this is the workstation/business forum you want the consumer forum for future posts
a quick tip:
look at the HP quickspecs for your system, note the fastest video card hp offers, then find out the max wattage of it
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04829055
the fastest card was a 980TI, and the nvidia spec page for that model shows 250 watts with 600/900 watt supply recomended
https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-980-ti/specifications
so you can use ANY VIDEO CARD THAT DRAWS UNDER 250 WATTS
(i recomend staying under 200 watts with your pc's 600 watt power supply)
normal GTX 1080 cards draw 180 watts so this will work, i would not use the overclocked 1080's that draw 250 watts
on a system that has a a 600 watt power supply

you might also need a quality 6 pin to 8 pin GPU power adapter
