Good evening,
I would like to acquire a graphics card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - ROG STRIX-GTX1050TI-4G-GAMING
(link: https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00220761.html)
However, I am not sure if my motherboard is compatible.
Motherboard
HP 81B4 01 (BIOS F.04)
Operating System
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 bit.
Thank you for your help.

Check the dimensions to see if it can fit in the case. Either way, you would need to change to a more powerful power supply.
Hello,
your i3-6100T CPU is in socket 1151, so your motherboard is recent
you have 8 Go of RAM, that's good, the graphics card is the weak point (and probably the power supply as well)
first, check if your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot!
use this photo as a reference:
next, measure the width of your PC, to see if your GTX 1050 Ti can fit in height and length, knowing it is 24 cm long
finally, take a picture of the label stuck on your power supply
EDIT:
I just found a rear view on the site given by Epango:

apparently a standard height graphics card fits, it can also be double slot in thickness since you have 2 free slots

Maybe this one;

But it is 172mm long.
Another thing is the power supply. In the image, we don't see the wattage indication. A 400 to 450W power supply might be necessary for this card.
There is also this one:

Good evening,
GPU:
there's about 17 cm of space between the bracket and the hard drive.
...To be honest, I have 18.5 cm in there...
well, it's not clear, 17 or 18.5?
anyway, your Asus from the start is impossible, it's 24 cm long :(
a GPU of 172mm like the MSI RX 460 from Epango or this one is possible
or also a compact model with a single fan, like the Inno3D recommended by Epango (message 14) or a more powerful one:
https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00220029.html
Warning: all these GPUs are double-slot (double thickness)
And I can't quite see in your photo message 11 if a double-slot GPU fits in your case...
PSU:
in your photos, we see what your PSU provides:
180W max, with 15 Amperes on the +12V
this is insufficient for any graphics card :(
I recommend a Corsair VS 450W for €42.

So we would need the specific model.
