I'm afraid you're out of luck in regard to upgrading.

I'm assuming this is the system in question:

This being the motherboard (I've never even heard of "Maple"):

It doesn't actually have a PCI-E slot (which you'd need in order to add a discrete GPU), although honestly I'm not sure it'd be worth putting a dedicated card into the system even if you could. Regardless your only real option here would be to build a new system.

Ok. Thanks for your quick reply

Did you have a budget in mind for a GPU and PSU replacement?

It might be possible to build you a spec-list for a new rig depending, and you could always consider selling your current desktop system to help with costs.

No expansion options there I am afraid.

Not old (has two M.2 sockets!!) but certainly very limited

Yeah, it isn't old, it's just an incredibly poor motherboard.

I know companies like HP try to save on costs, but they should be ashamed of supplying something like that in a modern desktop PC.

Rip it up and start again, find another use for this one. I can't believe they were selling people junk like this as recently as 2017. Alternatively you might want to look at a console. Your system doesn't give you a start point for gaming unfortunately.



Plenty of help at hand here though!
