It uses a PCIe X16 connection, any graphics card is compatible. As for CPU, what processor is in there right now? Googling the 5520 chipset listed, I found this

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That is a chipset used for LGA 1366 CPUs AFAIK.  The CPU tab will tell you more.

 

If its a server/workstation you likely need registered/ECC DDR3 memory.  The memory tab will tell you more.

 

As far as GPU, if it fits it works.

I think this a workstation from HP which supports DDR3 ECC RAM 1333Mhz speed. Any graphics card will fit though the new cards may cause the CPU to bottleneck. Try buying older cards and try working on it. Try seeing HP's website for further info.

Try looking at the CPU tab too.

do you know the model of the PC you have? some, like my HP proliant, are not technically validated for X series xeon CPUs, but will work with some, and the X series like an X5670 are the best for gaming in this generation. It would also make sense to only have one, to save power, because a single 6 core CPU with hyperthreading is plenty for gaming.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

seems to say any LGA 1366 CPU is compatible. You should try to find a good deal on anything like a Xeon X5650, 5660, 5670, 5675, etc.
