The power supply included in this computer lacks the GPU accessory power connectors to support a GPU which requires power beyond PCIe-supplied 75W.

As such, the only graphics cards which could be considered are those which operate without external power and within the PCIe 75W maximum. The most current such model would be the newest revision of the RTX 3050 [wccftech.com].

Good luck!

Expansion Slots2 M.2; 1 PCIe x16; 1 PCIe x1
so yeah. but watch that low power supply when thinking of upgrades. 180w is pretty weak.
This system provides a reasonable value but the trade-off is the incorporation of relatively custom components in the form of an OEM motherboard and power supply.

This power supply is a 12 Volt Only style model. That style distinction is significant since although OEMs have started implementing their own versions of ATX 12VO for cost-savings as well as to meet certain efficiency requirements, what is being sold in OEM systems isn't really standardized in the retail space. So if the power supply needs replacement (outside of warranty) or upgrading, this challenge alone will create some issues well beyond a simple drive to Micro Center.

On top of that, there's actually a custom 7-pin PWRCMD connector on the motherboard that comes from the power supply. The motherboard also integrates the front panel connections such as the USB sockets directly onto the motherboard. Though typical for many OEM systems such as those from HP, this also complicates replacement of the motherboard and/or case.

As such, this recommends at least three possible approaches:

Operate this system as a sealed box with limited to power-neutral upgrades for its lifetime (so only swapping in CPUs or GPUs which are supported within the existing power budget). This works for a large group of users and represents the target audience of this kind of pre-built.
Be the kind of DIY-er who cuts into power supply wires, uses custom power supply wire harnesses, or runs dual power supplies in a PC as part of their GPU upgrade (nothing unimaginable, but definitely a niche group).
Ignore this kind of highly custom OEM system in favor of a PC which utilizes standardized motherboards and power supplies.

Good luck!
Jon

Not sure if the PC supports the 200watts you'd need, but you can get an older GTX 980 for $60 used on ebay and have something that plays CS2, Fortnite, Rust, APEX, or whatever other common online game you play at 60-200fps. Check benchmarks.

Of course, you can also get something newer for more, but 980 is as old as I'd go and still have it work and perfect for an otherwise "office" $370 PC.

1030 should work on this

The GT 1030 is an ideal card for those seeking a dedicated graphics option which will have a limited impact on the total power demands of the system. The GT 1030 has a low (30W) draw, does not require external power, and thus should operate comfortably even given the extremely limited capacity of this PC's existing power supply of 180W.

Good luck!
Jon

P.S. - Added a follow-up post (linked here) to qualify this post as it failed to consider that the general horsepower of the GT 1030 makes it a relative side-grade (at best) from the relatively powerful integrated graphics in the AMD 5600G CPU.

The power supply is ridiculously small, but also reasonably paired to the system as designed and intended (since typically systems like this are expected to receive no to minimal upgrades regardless of the capacity of internal expansion). Note that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU maxes out somewhere between 65W and 82W [anandtech.com].

Good luck!

Normally a system like this is designed to accommodate a single 3.5" HDD.

In addition to the M.2 storage, the motherboard [hp.com] offers connectivity for up to three (3) SATA connections. However, hard drive mounting options will be limited (but could be improvised) as will also be the case for power connectivity (mandating the use of splitters and/or adapters).

Note that SATA power is actually supplied by the motherboard in this system. Given that the PC in this case lacks an optical drive and hard drive, it is entirely possible that the power adapter bringing on board connectivity to a SATA power connector will not be included.

Good luck!
Jon

A comparable used hp with larger power supply and maybe even a 5500xt graphics card included can be found for nearly half the price.

No, not at acceptable resolution and frame rates. (1080p 60fps, low settings is most often not possible.)

With really low expectations in easy to run games, sort of, barely.

You should aim for a used version of similar 5600g hp desktops that already come with larger power supply. 16gb ram, and with 6600xt for just a little more money if gaming is your main goal, that's the best low budget gaming option. If you can't quite afford or find a good deal on one with the 6600xt, the rx5500 version would do but the step up to the 6600xt is well worth it.

You're close to the cost of a very capable used gaming pc at this price.

Upgrading a lower spec hp will generally cost more than just buying a used one that already meets your needs because you really need 16gb ram, at least the 400w power supply, and a stronger graphics solution than just the integrated graphics.
