A:AnswerHi there! I am sorry to hear about your frustrating circumstance, though I would recommend reaching out to Best Buy's Geek Squad services for troubleshooting and software management.
A:AnswerYes, the computer is upgradeable and since it’s an HP computer, most parts across the world will be compatible with the default computer parts. I hope that helped!
A:AnswerYou should have no issue with fitting either of those GPUs in this computer unless you get some of the unusually large versions of them made by third parties.
A:AnswerThis model could support 4 monitors but depending on the resolution you are running them at, the GTX 1060 3GB card may not be able to handle them.
A:AnswerYou can run that game but might be happier with the i7 processor if you want to push it to max settings. You should be able to stream from your Xbox if you choose to.
A:AnswerThe supplied power supply should be sufficient to power a 1080 graphics card, it is not recommended as with that setup it is advisable to have a 650W PSU. The graphics card will come with its own cooling fans and should not generate excessive heat compared to the 1060 in the machine. I have not seen if there is a spare 8pin connector for the 1080 on the PSU and the supplied graphics card uses a 6 pin. That said, I would personally upgrade the CPU before the GPU as the CPU is where your bottle neck for this machine will be.
Having used it for gaming for a little bit myself I find that my CPU takes on 90-100% load while my GPU sits comfortably at 20-30%. As such, upgrading to the i7-7700 (only upgrade available with current motherboard) would prove to be more beneficial than a 1080, and will be cheaper also.
