HP's product page for that PC lists the motherboard as a Q67 express, the best CPU you can get is an i7-2600.

Also, $150 CAD is too much for a 3770, you can get eBay listings much closer to the $100 mark. The 2600 will be even less.

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
