Can I take out the PSU in my OMEN 870-244 and put it into a new case?

[Verdict]

I've opened my case but on the surface it didn't really look like the power supply could come out of my OMEN 870-244.  Am I able to remove it out of the case so I can buy a new case and put it into there?

@Verdict,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Yes, you can remove your HP 500 watt power supply p/n: 860625-801 ("Power Supply - GNRC, 500W ATX ES6 Bron Picolit Twstr") as per https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=Z5M59AA from your OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 870-244 (Z5M59AA).

Thank you for your response! To clarify, the psu has all the standard connections if I were to reuse it with a new motherboard and non OEM parts and what not?

@Verdict,

Yes, it can, as long as your new motherboard is ATX-powered based, and it depends on your new motherboard/system power requirements: please be reminded that an ATX-based 500 watt power supply is limited what it can power.  Since it is not entirely clear to me if this power supply has only one or two 6-pin, or 6+2-pin or 8-pin PCIe power cables, this limits what graphics card you can power.

You may find this link of interest: Solved: Want to upgrade my 870-244 gpu, cpu, psu - HP Support Community - 6963880. There's a picture showing one of the users having swapped the HP ATX 500 watt power supply with a Corsair 650 watt power supply.  Other ATX wattage options are also available, as long as they physically fit inside your case.

I plan on using a new motherboard, new cpu, but same graphics card (gtx 1070). In this scenario, would I be fine reusing the psu?

@Verdict,

Yes, you would be totally fine: a GTX 1070 requires a 500 watt PSU: EVGA - Product Specs - EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING, 08G-P4-6276-KR, 8GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0 & RGB LE....
