PSU upgrade for HP 6000 slim

[Steven20151991]

I have a HP 6000 slim
http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemNumber=N82E16883282877
I'm looking for a PSU upgrade, factory PSU is 240w I'm looking for 350-500w psu. The problem is the conecters it has 3 separate conecters not a standard 20-24 pin atx. The size is not a factor because I plan to custom fab a case for it. I want to overclock my radon 6450 and run 3 HDDs 160gb,250gb,500gb also put a better cooling system on cpu and case the main use is for media(1080p movies), downloading and low end gaming on min settings like wot... Also curious if it's worth adding a sata and a 3.0 USB PCI card to run my wifi adapter it's a Rosewill RNX-N250UBE (RNWD-11006) Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 2T2R / 2x 5 dBi External Antenna / Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates.... Thanks any help is very appreciated

1| This is the powersupply unit that comes bundled in your system[/url][/b] and that is proprietary to your unit. You could try and reverse engineer a standard PSU and design a custom chassis for the aforementioned PSU though figuring out the wires that lead up to power your motherboard will the real challenge. You'll need to first and foremost figure out the power on each wire by taking a multimeter and studying the power that comes off each. Sourcing connectors for your system will be the second challenge.

2| There ins't much point in overclocking a 6450 GPU. Adding HDD's to your build would be easy since yo have 4 SATA ports. Adding a cooling system on the CPU would require you to mill your cooler as teh cooler is specifically designed witht eh case's airflow in mind moving air fromt eh front to the back via a duct. You could replace teh stock fan but that's as far as you can go.

3| Since pretty much everything about the slim unit is proprietary it's not advised to add time money or effort in it unless it's an expendable system + you've got time at your disposal.

4| With all that being said, I think you should equate the expenses and the time you're investing into this build onto a piece of paper and you may see with some additional amount you can build a current gen, much more capable unit for today's workloads and gaming scenario's.
