You should be able to upgrade to any standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I suggest measuring the current PSU and compare the measurements to any that you choose to assure it will fit into the space provided.  I like Corsair products.  They provide clean, stable power.

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when adding or upgrading a video card.  Once you have read the article you will have a better idea of what to consider when buying a new PSU.
