@Obsidian_Hex , welcome to the Community.

You should be able to use any standard power supply unit (PSU) that will fit into the space provided.  I like Corsair PSU's because they provide clean, stable power for your computer.  Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when adding or upgrading a video card.  Once you have read the article you will have a better understanding of which PSU's will work.

Thank you very much for your help.

I am new to the whole PC build thing .

I will go and look at the Corsair PSUs and find an appropriate one.

Should be able to have a nice little back up unit of my son to get into PC gaming now.

Getting your son into PC gaming could be a lifetime thing.  I am 78 and still game every day.  The games I play may not be appropriate for your son, Sniper Elite 5, but any of them are fun.  If you find a PSU and aren't certain that it will work just ask.  I am here every day at some point.
