I'm looking to upgrade my HP Envy TE01 3254 desktop and need some advice on compatible GPUs. My current specs are 32GB of DDR4 RAM, an Intel i7 12700 processor with 12 cores running at 2.10GHz, and a 1TB SSD. The motherboard model is 89B5. I understand that I will need a 500-watt power supply to support any GPU requiring an 8-pin connector. If anyone could offer insight or resources on what GPUs I can upgrade to, that would be greatly appreciated!

Just a heads up, I once tried installing a Sapphire 9060 in a similar setup, and it didn't work properly. I got no output on my monitor, even after troubleshooting with the integrated graphics. It made me wonder if some AMD cards just aren't compatible with HP desktops, so definitely do your homework before buying!
You can technically use a variety of GPUs, but your power supply will limit your options. You'll likely want to stick with lower-end models like the 5050 and 5060, or maybe some entry-level Intel graphics. Just keep power requirements in mind when you're shopping around!
