I bought the HP L6491-800 equivalent 310 watt power supply for this unit at https://www.impactcomputers.com/l64961-800.html . It cost $95. It allowed me to upgrade to a $140 75 watt graphics card which doesn’t require a six pin power source which is not available for this PC. The power supply replacement is an exact fit. It has an extra p4 cable which you do not connect. The GeForce 105ti graphics card I purchased is much better than the integrated graphics that came with the PC and max power is 75 watts. It’s old technology but my grandkids can play Fortnite at epic display settings at 50FPS. If you play at mid display settings you can achieve 120 FPS. The best the built in graphics card could do was 30 - 40 FPS at the very lowest display settings. Not much more you can do to upgrade graphics card than what I have shared. The 75 watt power limitation for the graphics card is the bottleneck.

You would need to find a graphics card that would work with the 180W power supply. This Desktop PC has the L08660-800 - 180W power supply installed. This chassis can also use the L64961-800 - 310W power supply, and the connectors should be the same. I hope this helps you. You would still need to find a graphics card that would work with the 310w power supply.
