Question PSU Upgrade help

Hello there,

I'm currently running the following system:
B250 Nightblade MIB MS-B090
Intel Core i5 7400 @ 3.00GHz
Kaby Lake 14nm Technology
16.0GB Single-Channel @ 1197MHz
Micro-Star International Co. Ltd. MS-B9071 (U3E1)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (MSI)
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-9YN164 (SATA )
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-22MFCA0 (SATA )


The model is shipped with a 350W PSU (I've researched some and it's a some form of Flex ATX)

I'm finding a bottle neck with my CPU/GPU in gaming so looking to upgrade my CPU and ordered the I7 - 6700k @4 ghz to help this.

However I'm concerned that the PSU is low for trying this therefore I'm trying to find a way to replace it. However I'm struggling to find any information or suppliers for a higher watt PSU (Note this is a compact system so a regular PSU will not fit in the case). Does anyone know of any replacements that can be used in this build price isn't really a concern.

Failing this I would be interested in cases that support my mobo and buy a normal PSU as that may well be a better option for the future. I'm comfortable re-seating my hardware but not very good when it comes to compatibility.

Regards,
Jay
