Same $80 Rosewill CAPSTONE-750
The pricing can just keep going on, depends on what the budget has to be

I stand by my statement for the $80 price point a GOLD is FAR better Value that the CX line

He wants to know if ANY PSU will work. The CX is just what he came across for whatever reason, not that that ONLY what he wants

will any PSU fit this MOBO
Most any may work, the issue could be fitting into the HP case..............................

I guess I read it differently than you. From his opening post
;) :toast: It's cool, 2 items from the OP's post, the first was any, next was price vs. part he "liked". sometimes it is hard to decipher an OP's intent.

@NTM2003
Here is a listing of PSU's sorted from price for you.
Look over them, and any good units from 450 to 700 watts will work for you.

You can decide your price point but check the dimension's of your PSU/case, if you want to try to use another with your HP case.
Remember, as pointed out before, HP has a LOT of parts made only for them [proprietary} so unless your having issues with the system now, you could open a can of worms :(
If the look of the wiring is what's really bothering you, don't fret it, after all, it's a pre-built budget pc :twitch:, not hand build show case.
Good Luck :toast:

EDIT It's very possible it has a Micro SFX PSU Athena , so best to measure..........

@NTM2003

You need to look over this page and see if your HP model is listed.

If it is you may be out of luck, that looks to be a very small size PSU in your pictures, and as small of the space is in the pictures, you may be stuck with it.

Not so sure Modular will have enough room since they have a hard plug on the end of wire group, the wires will stick back farther than what you have.
The cost to get a aftermarket PSU that will fit will be expensive just to get less wires showing if it
