Maybe if you run the game on a low resolution it will be playable.

You are limited by the HP power supply, that is rated for 180W. Your case dimensions will also rule out some larger sized cards. We need to look at advising on lower power consumption card options for you.
You HP computer will work fine for watching You Tube videos, writing e-mails, some simple home photo/video work. To get this updated for playing some games, add a suitable graphics card - this provides improved graphics power acceleration to handle complex maths tasks that are displayed as the 'graphics' on your screen.
As an 'entry level' option you should be able to pick up a used GT750Ti - a long standing favourite for low power consumption and compact size. Although not always available as a new option there are links in the following video discription for buying from abroad.

Don't want a used card from abroad? Then consider a GT1030, with 'GDDR5' memory - warning nvidia created a 'GDDR4' version which should be named a GT1020 as the performance is poor in comparison. To understgand the difference watch the following video:

I am not sure that the standard HP 180 Watt power supply would really be happy with a GTX1060 card installed. The processor (Intel i3-4170) will also start to become an issue in some games as they will prefer a i5 model.
If the op really wants to look into upgrading that pc, he would need to try and find a psu small enough to fit the case. Only then could he get a 750ti or better card.
Geforce website lists the graphics card power as 75 watts for the GTX 1050 2GB and 3GB models as well as the GTX 1050Ti:

The 240W figure already takes into account cheap power suppies with low current output and low wattage that don't meet the wattage figure on the case. This is why some older AMD and nvidia cards often reccommended much bigger PSU models than was required.
I agree that fitting something much bigger than required is best practice. It keeps noise levels down and you will have extra headroom.
