Product: HP Compaq Pro 8300 SFF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The HP Compaq Pro 8300 SFF has a weak, 240w PSU. I am planning to add a GTX 1050ti, 1TB Samsung SSD, Noctua CPU Cooler, 16 GB Crucial RAM, and possibly an i7. I am fearful that I might overload the PSU. Are there any higher power PSUs I can replace mine with? Also, my last post asked about the required connectors to power a Zotac 1080ti Mini. The PC's default PSU didn't have these GPU power connectors. Is there any that may have these connectors as well as have sufficient power for the rest of the upgrades?

 

        Thanks in advance,

@BlaoBlaoMogo -- 1TB Samsung SSD,

 

This SSD consumes less wattage than any "spinning" disk-drive, because the SSD has no moving parts.

 

> possibly an i7.

 

Intel's web-site has detailed power-requirements for each of their processors.

It is possible to purchase an adapter-cable that has a female-SATA connector at one end, and  6-pin connector at the other end, if your graphics-adapter requires a 6-pin power input.
