One PCI Express x16 slot (Gen 3.0)
You have the needed slot , you need to make sure the card will fit and you have enough power to run the card.

Form Factor: internal ATX
Total wattage: 460W
Nominal input voltage range:
100-127V/3A (50-60Hz)
200-240V/2A (50-60Hz)
Dimensions: 150mm x 140mm x 86mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches)

From your PC's specification page:
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI Express x16 (Gen 3.0)
Any modern video card is going to physically be able to plug into the PCIe slot above. The next consideration you'll have to make is the length of the card in question AND if your PC can power it.

If you are using the same power supply that originally came with your PC, then almost certainly not. You would need to upgrade to an after-market PSU before you could power the GTX 960 correctly.

Just looked on the EVGA website, it says that card uses a single 8 pin PCIe power connector and draws a maximum of 160W. Ok, I see a couple of issues, 1st, your PSU isn't going to have an 8 pin. 2nd, although 460W should be more than enough, HP don't exactly use high quality PSUs and it would be risky to keep the current PSU.
