I have 2 questions

I have a HP ProDesk G1 600 SFF its fine to look at it on a monitor but when I connect it to my 1080P 50inch TV screen I can see horizontal lines more like they are flickering. But they are not visible when a blank white page or any other bright colors are displayed but while displaying a darker color I can see it flickering my CPU doesn't have a HDMI port and I use a VGA and my TV also supports VGA I checked the cable in other devices and I checked the TV with other devices as well everything is fine I can't figure out how to solve this and will this hurt my PC or TV and is there a solution and I do not use any converters or extensions just a direct connection between Tv and PC, Please help me solve this.

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

If you go for a GTX 1050 Ti low profile card you should be able to use it without needing another PSU.

Something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Low Profile Video Card ($164.90 @ Amazon)
Total: $164.90
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

As for the lines on the TV, try checking another HDMI port on the TV if it has more than one, try another computer to see if the cable works on another HDMI computer, Bluray player, something that has an HDMI port.

If you can, check if the current card you have in the computer has a damaged HDMI port...

If you can, check if the current card you have in the computer has a damaged HDMI port by trying it on another TV?

I'd definitely try figuring out the HDMI issue before putting money into another graphics card.

Thank you for the info I don't have a GPU its just iGPU i'm running on and my CPU doesn't have a HDMI out only Display port and VGA my TV doesn't support Displayport so I used the VGA I tried with different VGA cables but the same result one of my friend said modern LED Tvs wont interpret analog VGA signals well and told me to get a cheap Displayport to HDMI converter and stick it to the CPU and use a regular HDMI but I doubt that bcoz my TV has a dedicated VGA port then why wont it interpret the signal properly and is a GTX 1060 overkill for 1080p gaming im ok with fps between 30-60fps on all games with high settings(will turn off stuff like anti aliasing) can a 1050ti deliver it?
And are u sure the stock 240w 80+platinum PSU is good enough to power that system?

If I need to go for a GTX 1060 low profile card what PSU would you recommend

And its so cool that the GTX 1050Ti costs so low here in India it costs 60% higher

Sorry about the too much doubts and questions if you have any thoughts about these please let me know

GTX 1060 would be stretching the power supply and I don't think there is a low profile version of it, but yes a GTX 1050 Ti will fit your gaming needs at 1080p and won't run into power issues like you potentially would with a 1060.

The lines could be caused by the adapter itself, again, if you try it with another device with HDMI out it should give you the final answer if the cable and TV HDMI port works fine.
