well that didn't tell us much about your mobo at all.

but from a google search it looks like it supports 16gb of ddr3-1333 ram.
some variants have 2 slots and others have 4 slots.
Would need you to open it and verify ram slot amount.

If its 2 slots you can go 2x 8gb sticks if 4 slots 4x 4gb sticks.
Your probably going to have to buy this ram used on ebay or locally.

It’s a 4 slot inside

So best would be to fill all slots with a 4gb of the same type of ram?

I was going to go 2x 8gb

Here is 4gb I found

Is this ram going to work with what I have ?

I would suggest 4x4gb as the ram slots probably don't support 8gb sticks if its 4 slots.
It may but better safe then sorry you know?

/edit
40$ is too much in my eyes for 1 stick, look on ebay or craigslist.

Just 2 things to keep in mind,
- Don't buy ECC ram
- Don't buy AMD compatible only ram either.

Ebay is looking to be around 60$ for all 4 dimms.
But craigslist locally you may grab all for 30-60$ without issue.

And check HP's website. In the past I've seen HP motherboards that have limits on how many GB each slot can support.
