I bought HP 406 G1 MT PC (i7-4770 processor and 8 GB RAM). I wanted to install a High end Graphics card. But I came to know that the power supply of my PC is just 300W, which is not sufficient.
Is it possible to upgrade the Power Supply and Install a high end Graphics card(Which can support games like Far cry 4, Uncharted 4, Just cause 3, etc.) and which suits the Mother Board also ???

Please suggest me some options

Going through the product service manual your motherboard does not have any proprietary connectors. You'd be best off looking through
a| This article to gauge the GPU power requirements.
b| This PSU tiered list to find the best PSU in your budget.
c| This GPU hierarchy chart to find out where the GPU people recommend stands on.

That all being said, I'd say you should go for a Seasonic SS-660XP2 unit and a GTX1080 - provided you have the wallet and heart for it. It will play those games on your system though ram will tie in your system's overall performance. Is it possible for you tell what the ram's frequency is? DDR3-1600MHz or higher?
