Hello,
I have an HP hpe h8-1192d dekstop pc and haven't upgrade anything but the PSU (I had to replace the old PSU back in 2017). The pc has a Pegatron 2AB5 motherboard and an Nvidia GT 545 3GB ddr3 graphics card, which isn't the best card and can't possibly let me run any modern/AAA games in medium/higher setting.
So, I've decide to upgrade the graphic card, but a friend of mine once warn me about my motherboard compability and it's inability to run with newer graphic card such as GTX 1060 or Rx 580.
However, upon further investigation, I found this motherboard is pretty much could run with Rx 580, as seen in this page :

This is the detailed information about the motherboard:

As for my current spec :
i7-2600 non K
16GB(4*4GB) samsung ddr3 1333
Pegatron 2AB5 motherboard (the one with intel H67 chipset)
Nvidia GT 545 3GB ddr3
2*1GB 5400rpm WD HDD
Seasonic X650 Modular (the one with hybrid fan control)
My question is :
Thanks in advance.

My question is :
- Is it possible to run this pc with either Gtx 1060/ Rx 580?
- If it isn't possible, should I upgrade the motherboard to other non OEM motherboard with same/different chipset? Or is it better to build a new PC from the scratch?
- If its really possible to upgrade my graphic card without buying other motherboard/build a new PC, would Sapphire Nitro+ special edition 8GB be a better deal compared to Powercolor Red Devil golden sample Rx 580 8GB?
Thanks in advance.
