Can my 475w 80+ PSU power a Gigabyte GTX 760?

Yes , the boards and PSU are specifically made for the hp workstation.

Standard ATX power supplies don't work in the Z400.

You can try the converter it should work , the PSU's are decent quality.

For the Gigabyte model, it requires a 6 pin and an 8 pin. I have one 6 pin, so could I just use the converter included to convert 2 molex to an 8 pin? Also, are you saying I cant buy another PSU?

SR-71 is right on this one. You won't have the proper connectors. You can try the adapters though. Granted you have enough molex to spare. A new case and PSU would do wonders when you get the chance though. For maybe $100 total for both.

Nvidia recommends a 500W PSU. That's before any overclocking of any sort. On stock voltage, the card alone draws 170W. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications

I would shop around for a nice PSU in the 500-550W range. They float around the same price range, so just pick up the nicest one you can for the best price. I prefer PSU's manufactured by Seasonic, but there are others out there that are nice.

Once you narrow your search to 500-600W, you are looking for two 6(+2) connectors on the PSU. A Corsair CX 500M can be had for around $40, but I would recommend an XFX 550W for $60. Reason being, XFX PSU's are manufactured by Seasonic, and Seasonic makes most of the better PSU's out there. Good luck. I'm sure you will be happy with that card.

So a new case equals a new power supply?

More talking out my arse.

All of that out of the way... The pin out is different for your HP as SR said. So you would have to replace your motherboard as well.
Sorry for being an idiot and for the confusion.

As for the 475W, if you have any problems, you can always under-volt it. Be careful with the molex adapters as well. They have a tendency to catch things on fire if not connected right.

I was speaking thinking that the Z400 was like the other HPs, but apparently, a select few like the Z400 use a different PSU. SR-71 knows his stuff better than I do.
