the answer is a qualified yes,......................the proprietary HP 330 way power supply can be replaced with a 600 watt ATX unit as a simple swap, you then need a special cable to convert the new pwr supply's  24 pin ATX motherboard connector to the HP 6 pin one

 

the HP 6300 pro uses the same power supply as the HP 8300 elite so the same pwr adapter works on both here's one such adapter

note that the motherboard 4 pin CPU aux connector (by the cpu) must still be connected from the new ATX supply

 

and the new video cards 6/8 pin aux GPU connectors will also come from the new atx supply

 

last USE QUALITY NAME BRAND POWER SUPPLIES, those cheap china ebay 700 watt units for 38.00 USD are fire hazards

 

stick with corsair/seasonic/antec/cooler master/thermaltake,Enermax, FSP, OCZ and so on
