Hi Guys, first post here.

So i have a Z230 HP SFF, which has already a NVIDIA NVS 510 2GB built-in ....
Well that card is def. not build for gaming, so I will sell that one and upgrade to a gaming card.

My question is ; will 750Ti Low Profile run on this system?
The PC has 240watt PSU..

The Nvidia NVS510 uses 35 watt and the 750ti 60 watt, so the difference is only 25watt...

Sysspecs:
Intel I7 4790 @ stock
500GB 7200 2.5" HDD
Optical Drive DVD-RW
2X 4GB DDR3 RAM

That's really pushing it, and it's probably not a reliable/good power-supply, get an upgrade soon, with a PSU upgrade you can get a much better graphics card. It should work, though.

Personally, I think you'll be fine. I know what a hassle it is, if even possible, to upgrade the PS on an HP box, as I have several HP boxes I use for SETI number crunching. This work essentially keeps the 750TIs I have running at or near 100% load 24x7. Using both HWInfo and GPU-Z, I have never seen any of the 6 EVGA 750TI-SC 2gb cards I run, two of which are FTW, exceed 40W. So if you don't have anything else in the box that uses much power, I don't see an issue. The TDP on your CPU is 84w. Load up HWInfo and see what the overall power looks like, and watch your temps. If you can get that 750 for under $100, it sounds like a reasonable upgrade.

I know this thread is kinda dead, but maybe someone is googeling for it.
PSU won't be that problem. just stress tested my HP Z230 SFF (Zotac GTX 750ti 2GB low profile, 2x8GB ECC RAM, Xeon E3-1240v3, 1x SSD + 1x SSHD + 1xHDD @ FHD 65" Samsung TV) with furmark + prime95 for 30min. and only got 165W power usage max.
While benchmarking (Firestrike 3dmark) I got 122W max. for the whole system at the combinded test at the end.
