your 6200 small form factor PC is not going to be a gaming system, the power supply will not support mid/high end video cards due to it's custom sized 240 watt power supply

 

this is a nice mid range work system, however it can be made to meet the sonic forces video specs by installing a low-mid range nvidia 750 "TI" LOW PROFILE video card that does not have a AUX gpu power connector, the 750TI card model is available both ways so be sure to get the one without a AUX gpu connector

 

also only a core i5 cpu is needed but if you can get a  i7-2600 cheap then go for it

the sonic forces PC specs:

 

  • OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

  • Graphics: Nvidia GTX 750 Ti or AMD R7 265.
  • DirectX: Version 11.
  • Storage: 18 GB available space.

could i just upgrade the psu? but i'll try to find a low to mid 750 ti and a core i7 2600 if not 1030 and do some moding for it

which part of "due to it's custom sized 240 watt power supply" did you miss?

 

there is no other power supply available for this system

 

also the power supply may not have a standard ATX power supply pinout but a custom HP one

i missed that part sorry
