If your PC uses one of those smaller portable adapter-like PSUs - then a new PSU would be the first thing you need. the CPU is decent and the RAM is enough.

Get a 550-650w ATX Power Supply, look here for good brands. Also, are you running a gpu? Knowing that will help in calculating what kind of PSU you need.

I like good humans and good food

he wouldnt be able to install it, that'd require a new case, and new mobo, if you have bad luck the cpu is soldered on.

honestly, this is kind of the worst case scenario of prebuilts.

Well all I can do is go to Knownhow (PCworld) because they didn't state the motherboard.

At the back, there's a slot where I can put a PSU. There's like a plater blocking it, all I gotta do is unscrew it then I cant put my PSU. but the motherboard is awkward.
