HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-005t
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a hp pavilion Power 580-005t . I have upgraded my ram and my processor to the max amount allowed by my motherboard. My question is, what power supply can I use to upgrade my current supply (pcd010). I want one that has a 6 pin power supply for an upgraded graphics card. I have a "MSI GeForce GTX 1050TI Gaming X" card i want to install. Thank you all for your help

Your motherboard has a standard 24-pin ATX power connector.  Therefore, you can use any standard ATX PSU.  I like Corsair products.  The main thing that you should do is measure the space where the PSU will be installed.  Then, compare those measurements to the PSU that you choose.  A fully modular PSU is good for mid-size cases.  They allow you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This will give you better airflow.

 

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when installing or upgrading your video card.
