I have a tower which is the hp pavilion a520n. I was wondering if it can be used/changed to be a gaming tower. No, it does not have to the best of the best, the good enough to where I can play many of my favorite games. I have the motherboard, power supply, and everything else that was made with it. So somehelp would be great, Thank You!!

you are better off forget the hp tower.
The psu that came with it is no good. the mobo is proprietary and won't fit with modern atx cases. the cpu is too old. and the pcie slot (if any, will be pcie2 at the most)is slow.
now I'm not telling you to sell it now for 5 cents. It's almost like a classic car. put it away somewhere in storage and in 10, 15 years sell it for a million bucks or for collecting value.
