Can I fit HP 6000 pro SFF motherboard to a microtower of the same model?

The point is that I need the stronger 320 W PSU rather than the 240 W I currently have. I am thinking about getting gt 750 ti on my rig so I would have enough space to get the normal version, not the low profile one and I would have enough power to supply it.

When you add the GPU into the HP PC, if the OS is win8/win10, you need go into the BIOS to disable the secure boot, and enable the legacy BIOS.

Yes, you can use the gt730 ddr5, I remember I did put one into my friend dell optiplex 960 with 235W psu. And I read somewhere you can use other PSU to power the GPU , but I don't remember the detail for how to.
This a good question.
Because the HP 6000 pro SFF is the BTX format, usually the BTX is not compatible each other, only the person has that two cases ( 6000 pro SFF and the 6000 pro MT ) , and try it out. After that, the person will 100% know they are compatible each other or not.
But I think you should find other solutions, like get other lower powerful GPU, because the BTX PSU may not be compatible too. But I maybe wrong, check out the PSU connectors. keep in mind you will have the hard time to upgrade the OEM PC.
 
Thanks for the answer!

I get the impression that both cases use the same motherboard and it doesn't make sense for the manufacturer to make different motherboards for the two models. I read on these forums that some models of gt 750 ti have a switch between UEFI and the legacy BIOS http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2681113/graphic-card-fit-compaq-elite-8300-small-form-factor.html.
So my idea is to use the microtower case because the graphics cards with the switch won't fit in the SFF and would need higher power supply.
If I can't do all of that then I can go for a low profile gt 730 ddr5?
Or can I get another 240 PSU like mine and supply only the processor or the video card? I can put it somewhere outside the box?
