So i currently own a pavilion 590-p0103wb and i was looking to get a slightly better cpu/gpu but i do know with this tower the psu is built into the casing and isn't interchangeable but i was looking at cpu/gpus that are better and take the same wattage as the Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega 8 and i found Ryzen 3 3200G With Vega 8 does anybody know if i could do this or no?

@NoNukesTTV I'm afraid HP neither recommends nor supports changing the processor (CPU) of your device as it may render the device unstable due to incompatibility among other components of your device,
As for the GPU, Here are a few important things you need to know when upgrading the graphics card of your choice:
CAUTION:
A power supply upgrade may be required for graphics card upgrade, check with graphics card supplier. You may also find power requirements information in the system requirements for the new video card.
Before you begin
-
Many HP and Compaq PCs do not have an AGP or PCI Express (PCI-E) slot on the motherboard. Visually inspect the motherboard or refer to the product specifications for your model before attempting to install an AGP or PCIe video card.
-
If you plan on upgrading a PCI-E graphics card, a power supply upgrade may be required for graphics card upgrade, check with graphics card supplier.
-
Find out if your HP or Compaq PC has integrated video on the motherboard. When performing the steps in this article, onboard video will need to be disabled in the BIOS to avoid installation issues on some models.
-
You will need a screwdriver.
-
HP strongly recommends using an anti-static wrist strap and a conductive foam pad.
-
Find a clear, flat, stable work surface over a floor that is not carpeted.
-
If possible, print this document. You can refer to the printout after the PC is restarted or when an Internet connection is not available.

That said, I'm afraid there's no specific article with the details you need as HP does not support nor recommend upgrading your device, if you wish to proceed anyway, you may at your own discretion.
