Hello There.

I have the HP Obelisk Desktop 875-0000np which has an nvidia gtx 1050ti 4gb motherboard is the edoras motherboard as you can see from the website of pc https://support.hp.com/br-pt/document/c06210022?jumpid=reg_r1002_ptpt_c-001_title_r0002 (sorry if its in portuguese) and since im kinda of a tech noob i would like to know what graphics cards are compatible to this mobo since im looking to upgrade my pc in a near future cpu included

Thanks for your time and have a rest of a great week

Your PSU is going to limit you in 2 ways. First, it's the wattage (300), secondly it's proprietary. Meaning, standard aftermarket PSU's might not work....as far as dimensions go.....the actual size.

Find a card you like, see what the minimum wattage is needed, then check the physical size of GPU will fit in case.

You will also have to upgrade the PSU, as the card you have draws only 75Watt from the system bus - it has no separate power connections
The ideal upgrade would be the PSU to 650watt
The CPU to the i7-8700
https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www...e/i7-processors/i7-plus-8700-optane-16gb.html

The graphics card to the GeForce RTX2080 - as the max draw on that card is 225 watt so your 300 watt PSU would be very much inadequate
https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080/
it requires its own power supply by way of a 6 + 8 pin

If the ram is the 8GB - 2 x 4 then an upgrade to 16GB - 2 by 8GB but that is optional when you can afford it. There are only two dimm slots, so you need a matched pair of 8GB each

That all said it is going to work out very expensive and all you will gain is a few FPS on the games as the max resolution of the two cards is the same.
The board has the H370 chipset and here are the details

You can choose others for the CPU and card upgrades but IMHO the cost will make it unrealistic to the gain in performance, as I said earlier even with what you have now you are not going to notice ANY fantastic improvement
The first link on this post lists some of the options

Further to the above as my colleague has posted - YES you must check
You should not have a problem with the card as although the board is microATX
the card you have is reported as
Formato: ATX (altura total) PCB com suporte ATX (solução de ventoinha com slot duplo)
  • Dimensões: 14,5 x 11,2 cm (5,7 x 4,4 pol.)

which is full height and dual slot
Form Factor: ATX (full height) PCB with ATX bracket (fan solution is dual slot)
  • Dimensions: 14.5 cm x 11.2 cm (5.7 x 4.4 in)
The 2080 is more or less the same height but it is
10.5" (266.74mm)
considerably longer
It is reported as fitting in the OMEN Obelisk
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/hp-omen-obelisk-gaming-pc-review/

however as my colleague has said you need to check carefully, there must of course be clear free space for good airflow in the case

AFTER further research you would be better going with the
https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2070/

9.0" (228.60mm)
as against the originally suggested 2080
