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!

so yeah. but watch that low power supply when thinking of upgrades. 180w is pretty weak.
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

You could probably drive a Radeon RX 6400 if you were trying to build a budget gaming rig. That would be a solid entry level gaming PC. Certainly an energy efficient one if power consumption is a concern.
From a home theater PC perspective, there was that i9 listed recently that would be more aesthetically pleasing and convenient. If you have space for a mid-size case, this would be solid as a work-from-home PC depending on your job.

People on Slickdeals typically represent the other 10% of buyers who want to upgrade and customize. Keep in mind, we are the exception. We are not the target market for this type of computer.

You want to know what I will never understand. People that can't realize others may have different priorities. hard to believe.... but there are people that need the cheapest rig and dont really want to play games. <minnd bllloowwwn>

… then again, a Dell Refurb Optiplex for half the price does the same thing. While both have proprietary components, the Optiplex is much more approachable imo.

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.
