I have a hp Compaq Elite 8300 and I want to upgrade the graphics card to a Radeon RX 570, but it Recommends that I have a 500 watt PSU, but I have a 240 watt PSU in my pc right now and I want to know if I have to upgrade or I can get by without needing to upgrade and if I have to upgrade what are some PSU I could use?

@Armino , welcome to the forum.
Which is your computer; Convertible Minitower, Microtower, Small Form Factor, Ultra-Slim or All-In-One?

Another question.
The HP 8300 is Q3 2012 (ie Q3: 1 July – 30 September). You need to verify Boot mode, so type msinfo32 in search box. Look at Boot Mode. If it states "Legacy", then STOP NOW as the Radeon RX 570 is a UEFI card.
PS<> where did you get this 7 year old Business class unit?🙄 Market flooded with them for less than $100.
