I currently own the HPE h8-1234 (specs: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03359045) and am looking to upgrade the GPU. I know I need to upgrade the PSU as well. I was looking at the EVGA GTX 1060 dual fan, but I'm wondering about compatibility and if it will fit in the shell/motherboard. Also, I am wondering if there are any better alternatives.

Thanks that’s all I needed! I know the mobo works with a card that is about the same size and the same PCIe lane so I think I’m good. Thanks!

I spent a few hours looking into this and I did get my Radeon RX 580 working with this PC by doing a motherboard bios update. The PCI slots are version 2 and the video card is PCI 3. Everything I have read says they are backwards compatible.

I was getting no video after I installed my card. Updated the bios to HP version 8 and now the video card works. I had a hard time finding the bios update so the link is below. I have an H8-1234. I hope this helps someone. I registered here so I could respond in hopes someone else may be able to fix this issue also.
