Here is the issue, I need to upgrade the Graphics card because I am running AutoCAD programs (Advanced/3D), so I purchased a Nvidia GTX 1660. The recommended PSU is min. of 450W, so I purchased a 600W for future upgrade potential. The problem is the ENVG 600W ATX is a 24 pin PSU and my mother board is 6+4 pin. Is there a connector that I can use as an adapter and will I be able to connect to the other sockets on the motherboard with the 24 pin PSU? Or is there a PSU I can purchase from HP that is 6+4 pin and can connect to the new graphics card? Any other suggestions or advice is also welcomed.

The commentary from an owner (same model as your unit) stated it worked.
