Solution
Actually I took a closer look at your motherboard, you cannot add any PSU. This has a proprietary psu plug setup as well, there is no 20/24 pin connector as on a normal motherboard.

You cannot upgrade or replace this PSU.

None of the above.

That PSU is proprietary to the case. If you want to upgrade the PSU in this system you need to swap the motherboard to a new case. Now the other problem for you is this motherboard is BTX of which cases are no longer made. So unfortunately you are basically stuck unless you want to go Frankenstein with the PSU hanging out outside of the case, which IMO is a bad idea.
