Old PC and RX570

[OmicronEta]

Recently I have had trouble building a computer with a friend and there have been multiple broken parts from a motherboard to a CPU. So he has decided to buy a used refurbished computer after he returns all of the parts that can still be returned. Only the graphics card, a Gigabyte RX570, cant be returned. So while looking for a computer I found an HP 6300 SFF with an i7-3700. I was wondering if we could slot the graphics card in and be up and running.

It might not fit, but the CPU is decent enough, also u could get cheap midi-tower case if u dont have one. 
Another potential problem might be too weak or bad PSU in that HP 6300.

I thought that it might not fit, just wanted to double check. But I do trust the reseller that the PSU would work.

It won't fit. you need a low profile card and you'd need power for the card itself

It does have PCIe power, but if I got some sort of riser or a Mid tower case would I have enough power?

I'd still replace it with a better unit.

It's not even in the specs. Bad sign. From quick googling i found that it's 240W PSU atleast on the 6200 model so wont be much more on the 6300. Seems like it also doesn't have enough cables.

It does have the same PSU but it does have support for discrete graphics solutions.

No. That's not how it works you don't get power from a riser... you need PCI-E cable from your PSU, which you don't have.

It only supports GPUs that do not have PCI-E and only work for the PCI-E slot itself. You get 75W from the PCI-E late.

Although you might be able to get away with a 240W PSU, it's too risky for my taste. 
Considering you have to purchase a new case anyways, I'd invest in a proper power supply.
