@sleepyman , welcome to the Community.

Good for you coming here for advice before buying a PSU that doesn't work.

The first thing that you have to do is check the power connector for the PSU on the motherboard.  I believe that it may be a HP proprietary 4-pin connector.  If this is correct, you will have to buy any upgrades from HP.  The most powerful PSU they sell is 500W (L05757-800).  You can contact HP Customer Support to see if they have one to sell to you.  Also, here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when moving a HP motherboard to a new case.  HP has their motherboards made to their specifications.
