A while back I bought an "hp compaq pro 6000 microtower" and stuck in a gtx 750 ti and an extra 4gb of ram to play games on.
For the most part it was able to play new games on low settings but now it is very much struggling to run newer games at all.
Right now I mostly just want to upgrade the gpu (due to financial limitations) and then maybe upgrade different parts one at a time.
The power supply the desktop has is only 320 watt however, and from what I have read I cannot upgrade it due do it being an odd power supply intended for an office pc.
I can just upgrade to a gtx 1650 I know, but that doesn't fix my problem in the long run.

Situation out of the way, would I be able to move all the parts to a new case with a different power supply?

Thank you in advance.

edit: after looking into my pc more, I actually got the pc wrong. I thought I remembered it being a 6000, it is actually a 6200.

Looks like a standard size ATX PSU and the case is normal width for GPUs also, but that CPU heatsink could get in the way for GPU length. Need an "ITX" GPU with a single fan that barely extends past the expansion slot.

No reason to change your case. The mobo is the source of all the problems here. BTX form factor. That wonky 6pin board power instead of the standard 24 pin (gonna need an adapter for a replacement PSU)

I edited my original post, as it turns out I have a 6200 not a 6000. Would this change anything or still the same thing?
