PSU needs to be upgraded ASAP. Its likely a junk unit. After that, what do you do on the PC?

It might be possible to upgrade the PSU, but it looks like it's a 1U server PSU, which is going to be LOUD AS HELL and pretty expensive if you want to get a model with enough wattage. It would probably be cheaper (and definitely quieter) to just buy a new case and get a standard PSU.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
