im planning to upgrade my gpu to a gtx 1660ti or similiar but i have questions about psu

[rooneyviz]

im planning to upgrade my gpu to a gtx 1660ti or similiar but i dont think my psu has pcie power and if it did the power supply might not be the correct wattage but i dont think i can just buy a power supply due to the proprietary hp motherboard connectors, how could i go about getting a new power supply?

the consumer forums are the place to ask about your consumer model system (this is the Business workstation forum)

with that said, you should first look at your system hardware specs and note the motherboard and stock pwr supply

viewing the MB picture shows it uses a 6 pin and 4 pin connector for power 

pwr supply:  180 W

HP makes a system model that uses the same power connections to it's motherboard but is 500 watts

The L05757-800 (500w supply )  check HP partsurfer.com, Ebay or just use google

now visit the nvidia web site and look at the 1060 card specs, you want the card dimensions and pwr wattage

hi

Sorry @DGroves  but

Graphics card specifications may vary by Add-in-card manufacturer. Please refer to the Add-in-card manufacturers' website for actual shipping specifications.

It is better to check the specifications of the manufacturer / model of the chosen card, because Nvidia, only gives basic information

sorry, for this parenthesis, good continuation

the 1060/1060ti  draw almost the same wattage when in 3d mode  120 watts per nvidia and this will hold for 3rd party cards unless the 3rd party card is a factory overclock

also nvidia does not list a 1060 TI spec page on their web site because the TI model is not made by nvidia

only the 3rd party board partners produce this card model

this is why i referenced the 1060 model

gtx 1660ti  no 1060

[DGroves]

whoops, brain glitch........................Promethee finally got my incorrect card model number in my previous post through my skull  the posted wattage was correct,  the nvidia 1660/1660 TI draws approx. 120 watts (same as 1060/1060TI) and is a bit shorter in length
