I have an HP elitedesk 705 G4 small form factor which has an ryzen 5 pro 2400g and vega 11 graphics and I wanna add an gpu (has no extra 6pin power).thou my psu is 180w TDP and the cpu is 65w i have an cheap 128gb sata ssd an 500gb 7200rpm hdd and a single fan for the cpu installed so is it possible to add an gtx 1650 which would have an 75w tdp (can undervolt it a bit) .if you have any other gpu suggestion it would be highly recommended too.

I wouldn't recommend it without changing the PSU. Sometimes GPUs have spikes in power draw, so it is best to keep your PSU rating a bit higher than your expected usage.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

My personal computers include 3 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). While I believe I have an decent amount of experience in spec’ing, building and troubleshooting computers, keep in mind I'm not an expert or a professional and I make mistakes.

if it looks like this:
HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Small Form Factor PC | HP® Customer Support

you could get a 1030, 1050TI, or 1650 Low-Profile, but you'll be paying the "Low Profile" card tax.

 

Quick searching shows the RX 6400 Low Profile is the cheapest right now.

I suggest you get an Quadro A2000 if you can find one within your budget, that'd be the cadillac of GPUs for a system like this.

It's a small form factor card with no additional power connectors and performance somewhere in between an RTX 3050 and an RTX 3060.

Otherwise I'd buy a used 1650 since you don't have enough PCIE 4.0 lanes to support a RX 6400 with your CPU.

And cant seem to find a psu that would fit in the case so should i just get a bigger psu and use it out of the case and use the 24pins to 4pin connetor

Are you just upgrading so you can play games? If so, which? 

Because at the price point you're better off buying an Xbox Series S over weaker PC hardware.

I mainly play games like Valorant CS:GO Doom et and also a ton of ds and switch emulators so switching to a console is a no no thou should i try to find flexpsu like this (https://www.fsp-group.com/en/knowledge-prd-43.html#three)which might fit within the case thou they have a normal larger connector 24pin while the system uses 4pin so would getting a adapter be safe?
