Well yes you can upgrade your PSU but i want ti know why?
as you are gonna use the New PSU in OLD system

I may be misunderstanding your question - but a more powerful PSU by itself does not increase the performance of your machine.

Assuming that your system does not require a proprietary form factor for the PSU, then yes, getting a better power supply is the first step before getting a new video card.

What CASE are you using ? (If its a purchased system say model #).

Some cases use different size power supplies than the standard ATX PSU, especially small form factor cases.

Some cases also need "Low Profile" video cards vs. full height video cards.

Most likely you can upgrade, but the parts you use will differ depending on what case format you have.

It's also good on a pre-built system to check and make sure there is a PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard. Some really cheap systems do not have a slot for a video card. The FOXCON ETON MB you linked above does have an x16 slot, so if that is yours you are set.
