Have H.P. ENVY 700-215xt Product No. F9A62AV with a 300 Watt P.S. Added EVGA GeForce GTX 950 new P.S

[GarBear3]

Have an H.P. ENVY 700-215xt Desktop and recently added a EVGA GeForce GTX 950 FTW ACX 2.0 graphics card which needs more than 300 Watts from Power Supply. Which power supply will provide the 400 Watts needed, fit in the physical chassis and have the right power connectors or adapters to plug everything in?

@GarBear3 , welcome to the Community.

Since EVGA recommends a PSU of 350W or higher, I suggest that you buy a PSU of at least 500W.  This will assure that you have enough power for peak demands.  The best way to know which PSU's will fit into the space is measure the existing PSU and compare those measurements to the one that you choose.  Also, I recommend a full-modular PSU.  They allow you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better airflow.  I like Corsair products.  Here is one that should work for you: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cx550f-rgb-cp-9020216-na-550w/p/N82E16817139265?quicklink=true

If you don't want to buy this model, it will give you an idea of what to buy.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer.  So, this is not the place to save money, IMHO.
