Hi @PcNewbie20

1st off, a very warm welcome to the forums!

2nd, yes & no, a 1060 will fit in your system as your mobo (if the stock one that came in the HP) has a PCIe x16 slot, but the PSU is only 180w which is not enough as the 1060 requires a minimum 400w PSU.

Please post a pic of your current PSU/back of PC/inside. Does the power cable plug directly into the back of your PC or does the power cable look like a laptop charger?

You'll have to work the PSU problem anyway...also check if it's a standard ATX, or an SFF or even a proprietary one. But once you've got that taken care of be sure to consider length of the GPU. Some of HP's cases can be pretty crowded; you may have to remove a drive cage to make room or settle for a shorter 1060 card.
