Right now im using a ax3400g u4802. I would like to update the graphic card. with that I know the PSU will need a upgrade too. can anyone suggest a few options for me?

The reason why im looking for a new graphic is that I i only have 100-200 to spend on it. which is not enough for a budget build. Im looking to play a few F2P games. likes League of legends, phantasy star online, and blackline.
Also, I would like to know if its possible to do it with this computer.

This should work with your rig and have incomparable performance next to your onboard graphics and PSU. It should also not be too much for the CPU to keep up with.

Power Supply: SeaSonic 400W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($43.98 @ Newegg)

I guess I just overlooked that it was a small form factor PC. You might want to note the measurements of the card I recommended and then measure inside the case to make sure there will be room for the card as well. I think it should fit but let's be sure. I'll find you another PSU. It might be impossible to fit a PSU of acceptable wattage in there but we'll probably find something. You should take the side panel off and see if you can find a model number on that motherboard. I could provide a much better assured to be compliant hardware selection if I knew the mobo model.

Nope, that unit has a proprietary power supply that is not equivalent to any industry standards. There will not be any way to do this without swapping the motherboard, which is a mini-ITX motherboard, into a micro-ATX case. If that's something you're willing to do then it should be good to go as per this similar thread here:

You could use this case or something similar along with the other components I originally picked out and everything would fit fine:

And you'd still be right around 200 bones.
