Your HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF is an older legacy desktop platform, and as such is limited in gaming suitability.
Also given the limited power supply (240-watt) which imposes upgrade/graphics card restrictions.
Nevertheless, if your SFF was my enthusiast upgrade project, say with a limited budget, I would suggest the following upgrades:
1.) Install an Intel Core2 Quad Q9650 (4-Cores, 4-Threads, 3.00 GHz), which you can affordably purchase via an eBay Seller: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Intel+Core2+Quad+Q9650+&_sacat=0&_sop=15&LH_PrefLoc=1.... I would choose a Seller who allows for returns for peace of mind.
2.) Install 4 x 4GB of DDR3 PC3-10600, 1333 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, DIMM (UDIMM), 240-pin RAM sticks, such as this quality/affordable RAM-kit purchase example: https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-1333MHz-PC3-10600-Unbuffered-Computer/dp/B0BVGZBX85/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1....
3.) Install an RX 6400 low-profile model graphics card, such as this affordable Amazon purchase example: https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-SWFT105-Graphics-RX-64XL4SFG2/dp/B09Y7358KJ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=28V....
4.) Install a solid-state drive (SSD) as your primary (boot) drive.
These are just suggestions -do your own research. If you implement these upgrades, your 240-watt power supply remains a concern: it will cut it close.
Hope this was helpful.
