So short story is I’m working night shifts in company where 90% of the time I’m sitting down and doing nothing, it’s boring af. I have work pc which I can use probably to play some games ( i5-6400 cpu) but I checked inside the case and power supply is really weird, only one cable going to mobo and all sata drives are powered straight from mobo. Is there any low power GPU which I can get and drop it inside? Below pic of the psu . Thanks

Unless this is some kind of family business and you are a relative this sounds like a very bad idea

Don't worry about it

Integrated graphics will be enough to run some low power games, or some older AAA games on low settings

This is not a family business, it’s quite big company but no one in here cares what I’m doing if all my work is done.

 I’ve tried Witcher 2 but had to drop resolution to 720p and all setting to lowest possible but still fps is quite disappointing.

Nobody cares what I do after I finish my work either, but it's probably in your sign on contact that you can be terminated for misuse of computers.

 

And usually nobody will care, until they do.

 

Get some games on your phone and a power cord

well mayby replace psu and buy another gpu, like 1650 super or 1660 

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

I did consider this option but mobo have really weird connector (16 pins if I’m correct) plus case will not fit any other psu the way it’s build.
