@Tedd31,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

I happened to address your HP 290 G2 Microtower query in this thread: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-290-G2-MT-power-supply-upgra...:

There is a compatible 310-watt power supply with p/n: 901772-004, which you can purchase, for example, via this trusted eBay-UK Seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256386845991?_skw=901772-004&epid=3065028764&itmmeta=01JJ3FCR9P91R648PQMN....

 

With this 310-watt power supply, I would suggest this low power RTX 3050 graphics card: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/gigabyte-rtx-3050-oc-low-profile-6-gb.b11687.

 

With a 400-watt power supply (p/n: L76557-001), which you can purchase via this eBay-UK Seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335660674964?_skw=L76557-001&itmmeta=01JJ3FHMG8QP98QDAYHGX487X7&hash=item..., you can power up to a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060, such as this model: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-dual-rtx-4060-oc.b11146.
