I have seen many websites suggesting about GT 1030 but in one video this card was not compatible as it takes more than 30W of power.
My current GPU- Nvidia Zotac GT 610 Synergy Edition 2GB 64bit DDR3. It only draws max power of 29W.

the 6300 SFF system has only a 230 watt supply for the motherboard/CPU/RAM/Add-In cards and Drives
if you tried to install a system with 4 ram modules two hard drives a cd/dvd burner the optional usb card reader a 70 watt video card and a other pci-e card and a pci card you will most likely overload the power supply
however on a system with only one HD and two dim modules and only a 70 watt video card, then you will still be within the power supply wattage limits

Hi, @Dev772
I agree with DGroves' opinion.
If you have a GT 610 in there now, there is no reason why you couldn't install a GT 1030.
It should work just fine. One watt here or there isn't going to make much difference.

Compatibility...it should work.
I have the one generation older HP 8200 Elite CMT (Would be the upscale model of the 6200 Pro, as the 8300 Elite is the upscale model of the 6300 Pro), and the GT 1030 works great in my older PC.
