Is this a 6 pin connector? Can it safely run a gpu?

I have an HP elitedesk 705 g4, with a Ryzen 5 2400g, vega 3 integrated graphics, and 16gb ddr4 ram, running windows 10. It has a 180w psu.

Without getting too janky, I'm trying to understand if I can play some somewhat newer games by adding a GPU. Without knowing anything, i picked up an M4000 Quadro for $80CAD, tho now I'm not sure if that will work at all, even ignoring the size.

The connector in question is on the mobo, and currently supplies the cd drive and (non existent) hdd. It looks right to me, but I know almost nothing 😅 are there any obvious problems I need to be aware of? Will I fry my computer somehow? Should I keep looking for a more suitable GPU that only uses PCIE for power? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Plane did a loop over my house 😂

I was outside with my dog, and heard a plane coming. I looked up, as you do, to watch it go by, and to my surprise, they banked hard suddenly and did a loop around my house. I'm so curious, was there a reason for this? Or just for funzies?

I was not prepared for how dark losing Isobel could be.

My partner and I are playing our second joint playthrough, each of us also have at least one solo playthrough under our belt as well. We arrived at the Last Light, do the various conversations to get to Isobel, then start the expected fight. To add, we are playing on balanced, have 6 party members, and had just long rested. Marcus swoops in, we tell him to piss off, and the fight starts. We massacre the winged horrors nearby, and put a decent amount of hurt on Marcus in the first round, but of course he went for her immediately. We also tossed some healing her way, just to be safe.

We were not safe enough 😅

Round two comes, we mess up marcus some more, but his turn comes around, and he crit hits Isobel twice, killing her.

Heck.

Cutscene ensues, my partner and I were stunned into silence, until the new fight starts, and we see the massive amount of people that we now have to fight, some former friends, some new allies.

I don't remember who spoke first, but I just said "so, we're save scumming, right?"

Someday I'll go down that route, but not today. That was too depressing for the playthrough we are doing.
