How to replace HP SFF power supply of 240W by a more powerful power supply?
I have an HP Compaq Elite 8300 PC SFF, with this power supply: 613762-001. The documentation says that the current power supply is (only) 240W.
I'd like to increase performance by installing a 750 TI graphics card, which needs 300-400W power.
Can I replace the existing power supply by a new one? If so, what is the best way to do that?

You first have to determine if HP like Dell uses power supplies with non-standard connectors. Once you determine that, you purchase a power supply with the same connector, but also supplies higher wattage. Be sure you identify power supplies that will fit in the case, you might have to stick with power supplies that came with the Compaq Elite, in order to do that.

I heard it is possible to run the gtx 750ti on lower Watts like 240/250watt PSU like your HP, but it may be unstable and overload in the long run if you stress the machine to its maximum performance and use for very long periods of time on extremely demanding games. Google and search YouTube for examples of same systems running this GPU/ HP system.
I have the same type of pc and was thinking of trying this some day in the future if I ever find a gtx 750 ti cheap.

PS. I don't think there is a higher PSU replacement available for these HP budget business pcs, since it uses proprietary cables and has a proprietary shape. So we are forced to get a new PC or live with it with less performance. So no overclocking etc.
