I am really clueless when it comes to computers. I recently purchased this desktop and discovered my old graphics card is way to big for it. I have no idea what I need for this. I play world of warcraft, the sims 4 and the elder scrolls online. Is there something out there that can handle that and still fit in this thing?

Solution
You stated that your power supply's output is 240W. That is utter shit. I'd recommend you replacing that with an adequate PSU (at least a Corsair CX430). With that replaced, you'll be able to run entry-level graphics cards reliably. You can aim for a R7 260X easily then.

Wait, this is your PSU? http://partsurfer.hp.com/ShowPhoto.aspx?partnumber=613762-001
If so, I assume it's got that shape for a reason - lack of space. It probably fits in a smaller, custom-shaped bracket.
If that's the case, you'll have some problems.
I need you to provide me a photo of your PSU in your case (so I can see if a different PSU would fit).
Also, I won't be responding for half a day now, so be patient. TY

I know that. Read my answer again:

I have to see the inside, where that PSU sits. If there is enough space for a regular power supply.
I hope you understand now.

Sorry for not responding for such a long time, but man, that case seems so damn tight. I really don't know how is a normal PSU supposed to fit there.
I'd consider buying myself a proper but cheap case that would just suit my basic needs, a.k.a. being able to hold that mobo, a normal PSU and a decently big GPU.
