520/620w seasonic power supply vs EVGA 600 B1


I need to upgrade my CPU in order to run a GtX 1050Ti. I will use it mostly flying War Thunder using a HP 8200 tower i5 2500 3.3ghz 8g ram
Will the power supplies below fit & be able to run the program?

The SeaSonic is a bit outdated, but I'd take it over the EVGA B1 PSUs. The EVGA power supplies didn't get sweet until the second generation.

Thanks for the quick reply.
What CPU would you install to be top notch?
I'm a noob & appreciate your tips especially that SeaSonic is old hat but still survives. Is there a "sweet" EVGA that would make this HP run smooth?

Thanks.

No. HP uses proprietary non standard PSUs with 6-pin and 5-pin power connectors instead of the standard 20-pin and 24-pin ATX power connector found on those PSUs.
I don't know if you have taken a look at the PSU and the connectors in the HP 8200.

Am I trying to turn a business computer into something that won't work?
Are there pin adapters?

Your current CPU is likely fine. There's the possibility of getting an i7-2600, but you may not need it.

The larger concern is that HP uses a *lot* of proprietary power supplies. This may be one of those cases in which hp's forums may be more helpful.

I looked at the power unit. two- 4 pin 9 pin.

OK will do.

Are there pin adapters?

You might be able to find an adapter on eBay or Amazon
I think it will be easier to replace the motherboard.

I think it will be easier to replace the motherboard.

Case too as I believe that the motherboard in there is a BTX.

Yikes.! Something tells me I bought the wrong computer.
As a noob in the computer guts repair, is it better to bring it to a shop?

I love the challenge but I know one wrong wire is lites out.
Though everything has only so many places to go so I guess I can figure it out as I look at it.

I'll call the manufacturer in Houston to find out from the horses mouth.
What is the apparent setback if it's a BTX MB?
Thanks for the needed skinny on getting this graphics card compatible.

Do you know the wattage of your PSU?
I saw a HP 8200 with a 320W and a AMD FirePro 2270, which uses more power than the 1050ti

The problem with BTX is that it was a form factor intended, about 15 years ago, to eventually replace ATX, but it never caught on. If your case houses a BTX motherboard, it means you're not going to be able to just re-use the case with a new motherboard, which will invariably be some variant of ATX.
