I have found old WS with xeon 4 core 8 thredas (1155 mobo), but it has only 300w PSU (with some weird connectros).

Can i change that psu, are pins any different? I think mobo uses 20 pin for powering only.

FUJITSU CELSIUS W510 (model of WS).

I want to stick some powerful gpu and use it for some games....

see if there are any weird looking proprietary connectors with the PSU..? 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

No, it has proprietary power connectors on the board.

It has a 16-pin and 8-pin on the board at completely opposite ends.

if it was taken from a tower that has the same manufacturer then sure I guess, otherwise no. 

You could always Austin it (use two power supplies) :P

Look at the Powersupply.

If it has a +12V Standby rail, no you can not viable.

If it has a +5V Standby Rail, you can use adaptors.
