Hello
is yours HS?
If you change the model you may have some problems
You need a motherboard that can be fixed, excluding HP cases, is not always designed so that you can use another motherboard (except maybe staying in an HP model), the fixings may not match, and you probably need the same dimensions!
It may be difficult to reconnect some connectors
Then, you have to either buy everything (memory, processor), or a motherboard that accepts the same components, in this case, you do not gain much by changing the model
maybe it would be easier to find a box, in which you can install different types of motherboard, see even the power supply
And simply recover some components of the computer

to have seen one of them up close this type of case is quite beautiful, ..
But very little space available inside, you will also gain for graphics cards, and better ventilation (depending on the box chosen, of course)
