You now realize the motherboard will not allow you to change out the PSU to a standard ATX form.
Of the 11 offered models of that unit, there are none that offer a graphic card.

You know the motherboard uses a non-ATX standards PSU. Your answer is still NO.
It is because of the proprietary power connectors found on these boards.
The 310W PSU that does fit that model is defined here. The part number is listed.
It is listed as a regional component, look at the Power Supply tab shown here.
