Replacing PSU in a prebuilt pc

DisplayPort for life

So I have this desktop i bought and it has a pretty bad 310 watts supply. It is just fine for my gtx 1650 super, but when i consider upgrading components I hit this question. Should I replace the psu now and then upgrade the components in the future? Or should I buy the psu and the upgrades together in the future? I am quite a budget minded person and would like some 500/600 suggestions please.

I live on the United kingdom.

Thanks.

Can you take a picture of the PSU and motherboard connectors?

sorry everyone!

i have a lenovo  IdeaCentre G5 14IMB05 Core i3-10100 8GB 512GB SSD GeForce GTX 1650 Super 4GB Windows 10.

Access is slightly fiddly since there are metal bars inside to mount the gpu.

The psu in your system. It's not a bad psu because voltage regulation is tight because it's a 12VO psu. You can't replace it for a standard ATX psu because it has 12Vsb.
