Product: HP ProDesk 490 G2

I am planning to buy the HP ProDesk 490 G2, and then put in a graphics card so I can play some fairly modern games, such as Red Dead 2. Which GPU would be best for this task? Preferably, it should just run off of motherboard power, with no external PSU requirements.

the ProDesk 490 G2 SFF is not suitable for a gaming system due to the low profile pci-e card  requirement

 

the ProDesk 490 G2MiniTower is also not recomended due to it's non standard power supply (180 or 300 watt) although i believe the hp 500 watt supply from the omen line will work with the motherboard the 490 G2 it's part number

L77487-001

 

a better choice is the HP z440 workstation or the z240 mini tower, available used on ebay for a fairly cheap price
