Excellent. All you would have to do then if your card fits inside is to park your secondary power supply outside your desktop, leave your existing power supply alone, sync the secondary PSU by using an ATX power adapter by connecting its 24-pin connector to your ATX power supply's 24-pin connector, and connect the adapter's SATA connection to a power cable/source inside your desktop (we can determine later where/how to do that), and connect the secondary power supply's ATX 8-pin power connection cables back inside your desktop -say by removing an expansion slot-cover from the back of your desktop, to power your GPU.
Easy peasy, really, when you think about it.

Any power connection inside your desktop, such as using a SATA to SATA splitter cable:
(I assume your desktop HDD/SSD etc. are powered through SATA cables -if not, provide some pictures from inside your desktop and I'll point out what you can use. The basic principle of the ATX power adapter is that this syncing works by receiving a power signal from your primary power supply, so that whenever you turn your desktop on, the secondary PSU will automatically turn on at the same time -and thus provide power to your GPU without causing any power timing issues, and vice versa, whenever you turn your desktop off, it will automatically power down your secondary PSU at the same time.)

Outstanding. Looks to me that your hard drive is powered by a standard SATA 15-pin connection. I would recommend the aforementioned SATA splitter cable (like this one: SATA Power 15 pin Y Splitter Cable Adapter Male to Female for HDD Hard Drive 656649788481 | eBay), and possible an 8-inch SATA 15-pin to 15-pin male to female power extension cable in order to reach the ATX power adapter card, like this one: SATA 15-Pin 15 Pin Male to Female Power Extension Cable Cord Wire For PC | eBay:
I must mention this DISCLAIMER though: I do not speak for nor do I represent HP in any capacity. This power modification is not endorsed, recommended, or approved by HP. Apply at your own risk. If you need any assistance, see if a trusted family member or computer-savvy friend can help out in person.
