Soo i want to buy an hp elite 8200 or 8300 cmt (which has a 320w psu) and upgrade the gpu.
A gaming computers store not far from my home has an msi gtx 1050 dual fan (Doesn't require a 6pin) :
https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-4GT-OC.html
The store owner told me it'll fit perfectly and it'll work good but i'm still paranoid
Do you guys think it'll fit in the case
Ps : i'm not worried about the psu since i already had a gtx 1050 and it worked perfectly on a dell's 260w psu
Thanks guys

The 1050ti fits the cmt case easily, a used 1060 on Ebay is about the same as a new 1050ti. Go to HP.com and download the user manual for everything you want to know about your 8000 series computer.
The 320W HP 8000 series CMT case can use a 120W GTX1060 with no problems. You will need a 2 sata power to one six pin connector, connect one sata power to the DVD power lead the other to the HDD power lead. these are available from Ebay, Amazon etc. The GTX 1060 is about 75/80% faster than the 75W GTX1050ti which is about 15/20% faster than the plain 1050. The 1060 is the better long term buy. Keep in mind that all these cards will run the same for routine windows tasks, the extra power is only used in intense applications such as gaming, video editing etc.
 

The gtx 1060 is much more expensive and i only have the money to buy a gtx 1050ti .. but thanks for the advice
Do you think the gpu that i posted will fit in the elite 8200 or 8300 Case And thanks again for your time
