First off anything above a 6770(AMD) or a GTS450 (nVidia) on the following list will work - http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/category.aspx?lang=en-CA&pcname=&category=25617&path=04d566253a5aba...

 

keep in mind that according to HPs website your PC will need a better power supply unit (psu) in order to be able to supply the graphics card with enough juice.

 

 

 

 

If you're looking for a recommendation for the most afforable option, take a look at the following

and a 6770

always remember when looking to upgrade a graphics card you look into what powersupply your computer has as trying to run a graphics card in a system that doesn't have an adequate powersupply can lead to system instability, component damage and or data loss!
