[SOLVED] Will gtx 1050 ti low profile work with my hp compaq elite sff 8300

Hey i got new pc and the hp compaq elite 8300 sff only has 240 watts psu so is my ps going to blow up my specs: i5-3470 and Geforce gtx 1050ti low profile

The PSU isn't going to 'blow up', no.

However the 1050TI is a 75W card that can get all it's power from the PCIe slot - something some HPs didn't always adhere to. Some were limited to 25W, but I'm not sure if the 8300SFF was one of them.

240W is low, but a 75W GPU and a 77W CPU... It should be ok, although the PSU is aged now too.

So im safe and it won't catch fire

It won't catch fire.
It might not 'work', but it's not going to catch fire.
