I have a "HP ProDesk G1 600 SFF" it has a i5-4590 I thought of adding a GTX 1060 or a 1050 Ti to it but the PSU is a 80+ Platinum 240w and the motherboard doesn't seem to have the usual 24 pin connector it looks different. Does anyone have any idea of what PSU I could get to fit inside that Case and help me add one of those 2 GPU

This is how it looks like

It appears to be a TFX PSU but I'm not certain. You need to look closer.

When I see something like THIS which is only 350W (420W wasn't in stock) for $88USD

My suggestion is to get a cheap, normal ATX case then move everything over and just use a normal ATX PSU..

I'm NOT sure if this is all compatible, but perhaps something like this:

and
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na

I'm aware the above has a rebate on, so you probably need to use the rebate to benefit but maybe you could buy the PSU and put the rebate towards the case?

If you zoom in, I think that's what your PC looks like inside...

Several PROBLEMS I see here:
a) no graphics card slot?
b) proprietary CPU blower cooler only works with similar case
c) power delivery?... I suspect it's 24-pin and hidden beneath the metal support but I can't be certain
d) what motherboard form factor is that? (it may be micro-ATX but I'm not 100% certain)

Hmm...

OKAY, I think it does have a graphics card slot (that card in the middle), and the BLOWER should exhaust out the rear of any case if you want (or be replaced with different cooler).

I do think you may be able to transplant this into any microATX or ATX case (with an ATX PSU) but you'll have to think about it... also, an ATX style case allows you to put in a DVD player/burner if you want.

Update: I see you have a DVD writer already, but I'm not sure if it's a "slim" model or not.

From what I can tell a GTX1060 6GB with this system would only use roughly 250W (300W max peak?) when gaming, though you'd need a Low Profile card to fit.

I'm not sure that even exists (max is for GTX1050Ti likely with two small, whiny fans), and if it did you'd limit your options (and it might be noisy) so I think going back to a microATX case would be best if possible.

My advice is:
1) check for compatibility with ATX (i.e. microATX) case and ATX power supply

2) if compatible, look for sales now or over holidays, and perhaps used parts

3) if DVD player is "slim" model it probably won't fit ATX style case but they aren't very expensive

Im from India prices for electronica are always twice festive season or not
This motherboard isn't a regular one it doesn't have a 24 pin power connector so I need a different PSU than normal
I had seen some GTX 1050TI low profile in Amazon it costs as below
1. https://www.amazon.in/Zotac-ZT-P10510E-10L-Graphics-Card/dp/B06XCXGVGR/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1512532880&sr=8-4&keywords=gtx+1050+ti+low+profile
$ 337(4.5 star rating)
2. https://www.amazon.in/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1050-TI-4GT-OC-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B01N2W8MJ9/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512532880&sr=8-2&keywords=gtx+1050+ti+low+profile
$ 256(2.5 Star rating)

and yes the 1060 3GB and 6GB would cost a lot more too but I believe its best affordable card in Indian market for me right now so it prices peak up Ill get the 1050ti if I could find a decent deal i'll get the 1060
Does any low profile GTX 1060's exist that I could fit inside that case?
