No.

 

Unfortunately, your slimline PC has a 180W PSU and that is definitely not enough.

 

Upgrading the PSU of a slimline PC is difficult because of the proprietary format of the PSU and its physical size. 

You would have been better served if had you purchased a standard sized PC with an ATX PSU. Then it would not have been an issue.

Unfortunately, there is no upgrade PSU  with 300-400 Watts that I can recommend for an HP slimline PC.  

 

You would be better served by upgrading to a tower PC that has an ATX PSU and two PCIe -x16 slots useable for a full sized video card.
