Well the obvious answer would be a gtx400 series card, but we don't know if you have a secondary PCIe slot. Either way you would need to look at maybe a bigger, more powerful power supply to go in the HP. If it is a standards atx, or even btx, type psu then you should be able to replace it easily. If not, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it isn't, then you might have to get in contact with HP about a replacement psu.
