Upgrade older PC

[gvout57]

A friend has a compact HP desktop, model PS-6221-9. I know it has a 220W power supply. He wants to upgrade it with a SSD and video card that can do some low to middle end gaming. Advise?

Max 204W on the 12V rail when new. Bestec made PSU.

What are the balance of the components (CPU etc) and how old is it?

Realistically, assuming like a 65W TDP CPU..... you could add something like a 30W TDP GT 1030 (provided the system is relatively modern and there's no BIOS limitations) and likely be fine. The SSD is going to be negligible.
