I want to put a Nvidia RTX 2060 6gb in my machine but my current Power supply unit doesn’t have the power or cables to add one.

I need a psu that could support it and has enough to power a 65w cpu as well so it would need over 270 watts of power any suggestions?

Tech Power Up shows the RTX-2060 to need a 450 watt power supply.  Possible upgrade power supplies for the HP 590 systems are shown here.  Look up your exact model.

Looks like only the 400 watt power supplies fit.

 

You would be better off with RTX-3050 which is only %16 slower than the 2060

It needs only a 300 watt supply but the supply needs the 8 pin PCIe power connector, which the L04618-800 comes with.

If you do get that 400 watt supply make sure the vendor allows returns.
