Hi (if this forum is still a thing)
I have a HP pavilion HPE h8-1114 and was wondering if I could take a 400w PSU and put it in for a new GPU (Nvidia Geforce GT 710) or will it completely turn my PC into a nuclear bomb.
Thanks,

Why do you want or need a GT 710 or equal to performance, GPU card. It is very low end circa 2014. Granted it is better than the GT 520 (present), but that is not much. First you need to verify the Boot environment. Use this LINK. If it is Legacy or BIOS, you can not use the GT 710 is a UEFIvBIOS card.
Nice of you to protect us. Let me protect you from a serious $$ error.

I could only afford that card at the time I just need something that can run Apex Legends or CS:GO smoothly
and yea it is a lot better than what I have now but its the only thing I could afford while searching

These are 2011 cards, and can be found on EBay.
The GT 545 DDR3 is a 70W card, suitable for the 400W PSU
The GT 545 DDR5 is a 105W card, but I would prefer you had a 450W PSU, but it might run on the 400W.
I based my opinion on the 400W as the GT 520 was using 29W on the 300W PSU.
