Want to replace motherboard so gtx 1050 ti can fit and is compatible with 510-p199na

[User133]

Hey, So i currently have the HP Pavilion 510-p199na link(HP Pavilion Desktop - 510-p199na PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support) and also recently bought a graphics card(MSI Geforce GTX 1050 ti low profile). I thought everything was fine, however when i tried inserting the GPU into the PCI Express slot it was blocked by the 24 PSU pin socket (you will see what i mean when you click on the link and see the motherboard)and i really don't want to return this product.  So are there any suggestions to a motherboard that is compatible with the 510-p199na and also has space to fit a larger GPU  like the msi gtx 1050 ti? Please consider that i am on a really tight budget also. Thanks.

You might be able to make it fit a couple of ways

A right angle 24 pin adapter might work.  I had to buy left and right angle SATA adapter to get out from under some video boards.

Can the shroud or plastic housing about the rear fan be trimmed to where it can seat down w/o hitting the connector?

Possibly a riser might work.  Either a hard extender or one with a ribbon cable like NonSequitur777 did 

A smaller ribbon riser like this as it has a power cable for the 75 watts the 1050 needs.  A cheaper ribbon cable w/o the extra power lines will not carry the current the video board needs.

@User133 -- there seems to be enough room for the card to be inserted.

Is the graphics adapter "double-wide" and extra-long?

There does exist an adapter cable (24 male pins at one end, and 24 female sockets at the other end) to add some length (and flexibility) between the power-supply and the 24-pin socket on the motherboard.

Example:

Is that what you need?

Hi, thank you for responding. Yes I believe the graphics card is double wide although my computer also has double brackets. The card takes up about 8 pins from the psu socket and there is about half a centimetre of gap between it and the card(when not plugged in). Your solution may work although I'm not sure (picture of what I mean attached). I was thinking maybe a 24 pin ATX 90 degree adapter may be able to squeeze in the gap whilst also allowing the GPU to fit. I also had thought about another solution, maybe I could use an external PCI-E port card extender. Are any of these solutions viable?

 EDIT: SO sorry didn't see your solutions! Thank you for answering!

User133, I agree with BeemerBiker: your desktop chassis appears to be pretty roomy.

You see, I was looking at this from a 3D/spatial perspective too: if there is room for your GPU to go "up", so to speak, why not raise the PCIe X16 slot with a PCIe X16 to PCIe X16 extender? Because if your GPU would still fit within your desktop case this way, you just might have created enough space for your ATX power connection to fit.

Perhaps worth looking into.

@User133 --  I recently bought a graphics card (MSI Geforce GTX 1050 ti low profile)

Is your "low-profile" card to be connected into a "low-profile" case, or a full-height case?

If the latter, as the Other Person indicated, that "riser" card should work.

Hi, thank you for your response, I considered both of your replies and ordered a PCI-E extender and also a 90 degree ATX adapter. When they arrive I will test it out and I do think they will work wonderfully. Thank you to everyone who helped me, this community is amazing!

Hi, my desktop does however have quite a lot of room and with plenty of width. I ordered a low profile version of the card since there weren't any other options in the market at msrp. While I do understand your point I did take into consideration BeemBiker and NonSequiter777's suggestions like ordering a hard PCI-E extender and ATX adapter which I've ordered already. Regardless, thanks for responding.
