get an core i 5 3rd gen used for almost nothing.

 

pick up a new PSU if the one you have isnt great.

 

get a new GPU, say an hd 7850 if you are on a budget. or something newer like a gtx 1060 or rx 580.

 

 

would blower style cooler be a must in your case?

height is the issue, so a low profile gtx 1050ti would be the best he could do as far as i know. 

 

like say this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Dw4NnQ/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-oc-low-profile-video-card-gv-n105toc-4gl

well, PCIe 3.0 is supposed to be able to get out 75 watt.

 

you can either step down to the 1050 or set a power limit on the 1050ti.

you might want to look into a full system overhail then with a new mini-itx case to fit new components. 

 

or swap the case and get a new PSU, then pick up a GPU with suplementary power connectors o bypass the board power issue.
