You can, but if I'm not mistaken you need a low profile model. If it doesn't work then the PSU is the first thing I would expect to be causing the problem. With these kinds of computers, the graphics card might not be supported by the motherboard as well. I'd ask HP to make sure it's supported in the first place before buying it unless there are documented cases of it working already.

Thank you for your help. I have seen this card running and working perfectly with same motherboard as I have.
And I am going to buy Low profile model of Gtx 750 Ti

The CPU is 95W and the card will be 75W, for a total of 170W just for those two things. That 240W power supply needs to put at least 170W of that power on the 12V rail. To be honest, I doubt that power supply puts out 170W of usable power in total. You never know though, you might get lucky. Plus if you don't run anything that stressful, you won't put maximum load on it. If you run into issues though at least you'll know why.

A few of us have successfully installed an MSI GTX 1050 Ti LP in the 6200 Pro SFF models with 240W PSU after similar concerns. It draws 75W. If you scan the "Related resources" on this page and search you'll see it's becoming a popular upgrade in spite of the apparently limited output and MB specs. So far so good w/ Oculus Rift in my rig, running some amazing VR experiences. So, good luck!

It should and there are some things that can help add a bit more head room including changing CPU voltages and various other stats I don't recommend it if you haven't done it before but a few volts of the core can have a significant impact one guy managed to drop power draw by 14w at the wall while oc'ing his pc and that was only dropping the vcore voltage it all depends on what you'r system can handle not all are made the same.

It is perfectly fine the card runs at 75w normally so you won't have allot of head room and avoid installing a wifi card as they tend to draw a good bit of voltage all out of proportion to their size

Redux:
Here is the power consumption and other information on the gtx 1050 ti low profile card https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1050_Ti_Gaming_X/26.html

I'm planning to do the same thing with my Optiplex 3010 SFF.
My CPU is an i5-3470 with 77W but never goes above 50W according to HWMonitor. Can I trust these readings?
So I guess I probably won't go above 200W. In the manual its stated to not exceed 230W.

My only worry is that the card draws power from the PCIe slot.
75W is officially allowed on a PCIe X16 slot but my machine has a full size PCIe slot which is only X4 (I might even hit a bandwith limit lol)
So I don't know if this applies here too?
