I have this system with the 90W power supply adapter. It has an i3-4170 and 12GB RAM.
I am looking to upgrade the video card and maybe the power supply.

Suggestions ?
 
you will need to link to the actual system's info site so others can see what exactly it will take to use retail components in this prebuilt system.

usually a new power supply is needed to power any retail PCIe graphics card used.
then a new retail motherboard is needed to connect the new power supply and the new GPU.
then a new case is needed that can house the new motherboard, PSU, and GPU.

so essentially usually you would be building an entirely new system while only using a couple of items (possibly RAM & disks) from your old prebuilt system.
 
I looked at the Currys web site and it shows the Asus K31ADE used a 300W PSU. It's listed as no longer available (obsolete).

I don't know of many desktop computers that will run on a 90W PSU, apart from a few small NUCs. How big is the computer case?

If you upload a selection of photos with the lid removed, we might get a better idea about upgrade options.

As JohnBonhamsGhost said, it might be better to get another PC.

It's a priority motherboard that uses a 90 watt laptop power plug.
