Question about GPU

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a 1050ti off eBay, but I own an HP computer and I can't have a GPU that connects using 4 or 6-pin connector. I need it to run off the motherboard or something like that.

I found this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-SC-GAMING-4GB-GDDR5-ACX-2-0-04G-P4-6253-KR/263723350726?epid=22021694444&hash=item3d6722fac6%3Ag%3Ah8gAAOSwUDla6gur&LH_BIN=1

If anyone can tell based on the information, would you mind letting me know if it does require a 4-pin or 6-pin connector?

Thanks in advanced!

This one doesn't require a supplementary connector, unless I'm mistaken, but would still need to know the exact details of your hp PC and the power supply you have. Some OEM motherboards don't actually provide 75W on the PCIE slot and some PSUs are so skimpy that even a GPU like this is pushing it.

$220 is also a fairly atrocious price for this, this exact GPU can be found for $30 cheaper. And 1050tis can be found in the $160s.

Waiting would be even better.

And really, this is a better buy by a *lot* if you're getting the above GPU at a $200 price.

Thanks for the links!
I was looking at ebay though because I need international shipping. Do you know if these sites provide it?
Also, I believe they're the same but I'll still ask if they don't use the 6/4pin connector either?
Here are my PC PSU specs, too:

No supplementary connectors.

For reference, GPUs that require external power use six-pin and *eight*-pin connectors.

Sorry to bother you again, but I actually saw the size of the product you linked me is much longer than what I saw on Amazon.
It is 7 inches and it won't fit (Already did the measuring when I opened my pc)

I found this one on BH too:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1292188-REG/evga_04g_p4_6251_kr_geforce_gtx_1050_ti.html
But I'm unsure what's the difference. Is it the same product? Will it run without the pin connector too? Is it slower? Faster?

Thanks in advance again, and sorry for all the hassle.
