Product: hp pavilion slimline 400
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

i own a hp pavilion slimline 400 and i wanna upgrade the graphic card of it .However  the power supply is not enough for my new graphic card.The graphic is too large for that case . SO i decide to buy a new case and P.S! move all the thing inside the hp pavilion slimline 400 to a new case. However i have heard somebody saying that this kind of PC can not match with the case which we can buy in the store and the pin cable of those power supply in the market dont match with the motherboard. CAN i really do that?

You will still need a case that supports uATX layout.  The I/O backplate will need to be modded, or replaced to fit.  Most cases have both uATX and ATX layout (stand-off pins).  Been a long time since that pinout question was made.  Do these help?
