Upgrading Old HP desktop

[Cinoz]

1. Budget & Location

Under $220
Manatee County, FL
 

2. Aim

Gaming on medium / Low settings getting out of integrated graphics territory, run things like GTA V at a good solid 60FPS+
The goal is to have a minor upgrade that will hopefully expand the amount of games I can run and increase FPS in my current games.
Ideally a system that could run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 but I don't think its specs are out for me to base off yet.
 

3. Monitors

One, 1920x1080
 

4. Peripherals

None required.
 

5. Why are you upgrading?
  taken integrated graphics as far as they can go.
-------------------------------

Current system:

Whole system

Motherboard

-------------------------------

I was thinking about getting the Radeon RX 460 here with an upgraded power supply but I just wanted to run it by you experts and verify the form factors, cables, compatibility etc, since it's not a custom build, more of a upgrade of a stock system...
This is a first time upgrade so hopefully I've not missed the mark too much here.

Am definitely open to any changes/suggestions, cooling is another thing that worries me but hoping the cards dedicated cooling will suffice as the case doesn't have fan slots and praying the CPU wont be too much of a bottle neck here?

why not get a used rx580? you can easily get one well below $150

Well, I went with the 460 for its small size, according to the info I found it's 6.7 inches long and the Mobo is supposedly 8.1x8.7 so would something like an rx580 fit?

ye, there are small form factor RX580's . if you cant find one, small form factor 1050Ti(it might not need a new PSU) also exist

Will definitely need a new PSU, the current one is only 180W

1. psu will propably be a problem. I do not know if you can put in all types of psus due to the fact that many manufacturers to the size of HP use different standards than the ones in the market for sizing.

2. the other concept will be the airconditiong of your system....You may need more air flow or you may have results of overheating.

3. small card ...means less cooling on it so my opinion as stated in 2 is doubling the need...!

be sure other components of the motherboard....like capacitors or heatsinks or even the hdd positioning or cabling is not messing with the GPU positioning.

In fact you may end up requiring a new case too so check sizes carefully with Brands as HP manufacturers.

The board states its a uATX board so I presume any small formfactor PSU *should* fit, I hope.

The small cards heating was something I was concerned with.. and adding a new case and fans would essentially be just building a whole new PC which was what i was hoping to avoid.

i actually am planning on doing an upgrade on the same pc series. ive got a hp 510-p089, so its the same as yours, but has a gt730. Just bought a new PSU and turns out screw holes dont fit. What did you do with yours?
