It has a sunflower motherboard with one PCIe x16 slot. I want to find a good graphics card to replace the RX 550

Honestly, you're better of getting a new PC. There are so many unknown and questionable things about this PC that I wouldn't care upgrading it. 

 

If you get better GPU like RX580 or GTX 1660, you will

 

1 - Run into CPU/RAM bottleneck.

2 - Possibly burn down your house with crappy PSU that is installed into every pre-built system.

 

If you decide to upgrade your CPU, there are more issues.

 

1 - Will you motherboard support it without blowing up?

2 - Better Ryzen CPU won't work at its full power with a single channel 2666Mhz RAM.

 

Also, on HP website it says that this PC uses Intel H370 chipset? Wtf?
