Best GPU for this PSU

Ok, so i know quite a bit about PCs, but some stuff i'd rather just ask around aswell.

 

So i got this PC a bit ago, it's nice, but the PSU is only 210W, but a high quality one (HP, Lenovo etc. are known for quality PSUs):
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/ThinkCentre.pdf

ThinkCentre M700 SFF (10GT), has the i3-6100 in it and 1 stick of 4GB DDR4, 500GB SSHD

 

The PSU like i said above is only 210W 85%. It's basically not upgradable cause it's 1. small, 2. hp, lenovo, dell...have those retarded power connectors with like 4-pin for CPU and then 16pin for mobo and then 2x4-pin from the mobo to sata connectors and stuff. So all-in-all, stuck with it.

 

Question is, what's the best GPU i can put into this thing w/o making it explode? I see it can support the quadro K420 with 41W. Was thinking of the 750ti, but that probably still eats too much power. Yes i know i can just get a new mobo and psu etc.

Assuming it is as good of a PSU as you claim (which, btw, I didn't double check), you could slap a 750ti in just fine. It wouldn't be a problem. 210w is more than many would believe.

As far as i know, the 750ti only needs about 60 watt. So you COULD be fine with that power supply.

tested it with a few benches, works fine, tho the PSU does get hot, but more from the air from the CPU blower from what i see
