Good enough PSU For these components?

[Steven_171]

So I want to buy a HP Compaq 6005 from ebay for about 100$

And put a MSI Gefore GTX 750 Ti in it

Can the PSU on the HP Compaq handle that GPU?

Check the nameplate on your PSU. If it looks like this (note the +12V rails), it should be fine.

Oh wait. I forgot you don't have the PC yet. I guess you'll have to assume that is the PSU it comes with.

Btw... that price is only $77. You can't even buy Win10 for that. So consider it getting a free PC for the cost Win 10 on sale.

So I ended up purchasing a HP Compaq 6000 Pro, Here is a picture of the PSU Label: http://prntscr.com/f2r6sr

It should work, yes. But only 14 amps on the +12V rail is cutting it close. Might have some shut-downs or reboots when the gfx card is maxed out.

But... which HP Compaq 6000 Pro did you get? The mini tower or the SFF?

Will I have to worry about the Power Supply dying at all?

Also, Are there any options for a PSU Upgrade on this computer?

Well my opinion is, that power supply isn't enough at all, and depends on your cpu if it'll bottleneck your gpu or not, and what he said about shutting down when gpu is maxed out doesn't mean the power supply is dying but it'll die if it kept happening more often.

Will I have to worry about the Power Supply dying at all?

Always a possibility, yes. But most likely it will just shut down, reboot, or drop the voltage enough that the card will stop working... or give poor performance. Or you may get lucky and have a solid PSU that has been under-rated for legal reasons.
No, there isn't likely a upgrade for that platform. Those OEM pre-builts are custom designed for squeezing everything into as small an areas as possible and making assembly line work fast and easy.

Is an external PSU An option?

Is an external PSU An option?

On a desktop platform as a 2nd PSU, yes if you just wanted to feed the 6/8 pin header on the gfx card. But the GTX 750 Ti doesn't have an aux power header to feed. If you mean replacing the existing PSU with an external PSU, then that may be doable, but be sure that the HP doesn't use proprietary connections.

 

[Steven_171]

It does, But I can get a 320 Watt PSU With the same connections, Will 320 Watts cut it?

Yes, it should. Presumably the +12V rail has a higher current capacity than the existing PSU.

 

[Steven_171]

There's my solution, Thanks for your help!

2 x 16 amp (+12V) rails rated for 320W. More than enough for the GTX 750 Ti low profile. If fact, that would even suffice for the L-P GTX 1050 Ti: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007709%20601273503%20600038363
I've got the Zotac in my Optiplex 790 SFF.
