Product: some kind of pavillion
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP pavilion desktop with a 8th gen intel core I5, it has a 180 watt psu. I was wondering if i could put a gtx 1050 in it, if not does anyone know the best gpu I can put in it? Before you go tell me to upgrade the psu it has a non standard mother board so i cant upgrade it.

@Austin_North , welcome back to the forum.

 

What is the full model or product number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information.  Here is a guide to help you find it.

Thank you for the additional information, @Austin_North!

 

It is difficult to upgrade your video card.  Most of the new cards require at least 400W to operate properly.  Your motherboard has a proprietary 4-pin ATX power connector instead of the standard 24-pin ATX power connection.  This means that you will need an adapter from 24-pin to 4-pin.  These are very difficult to find.  In fact, I have not been able to find one anywhere on the Internet.
