You won't have to upgrade the power supply with those upgrades.

 

The GT 1030 only draws 30 Watts of power, which is 20 Watts less than the R5 240 draws, and it is a slightly newer/better card.

Hi:

 

You can install up to 4 x 16 GB of memory.

 

Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | hp - compaq | prodesk | HP ProDesk 600 G2 Small Form Factor | Crucial.co...

 

You can install a slightly better graphics card than the one in there now....the Nvidia GT 1030.

 

Get the low-profile model with the GDDR5 memory, not the GDDR4.

 

GT 1030 Low Profile 2G Key Features | Graphics Card - GIGABYTE Global

 

Performance comparison between the R5 240 & GT 1030.
