I recently acquired an HP Z240 workstation and I'm looking to upgrade it. My dad has three monitors that we want to set up, but currently, we have an issue. We used to have a GT 730 on his old PC, which allowed us to plug in two monitors using HDMI and VGA, but since his last monitor doesn't support DVI, it's currently connected to the motherboard, which isn't ideal. I wanted to go with a 1060, but it won't work with the 400W power supply in the Z240. I also noticed that the 1050 utilizes a DVI output, which isn't an option either. So, I'm on the hunt for a cheap GPU that can accommodate at least one HDMI, one DisplayPort, and another port that can be HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA, while staying within that 400W limit. Any suggestions?

Have you considered using a DVI to HDMI adapter? They're pretty cheap, like around $7. That way, you can keep using the GT 730 without any issues.
That’s a great idea! I didn’t even think about that. Thanks for the tip!
