New case, New PSU, but Old Mobo?

So, as some people say buying a prebuilt PC, is not the best idea, if you are having in upgrades in mind...well too bad my dad choosed this one:

-i5 4570
-H81 Intel chipset Lenovo Motherboard default(M73)socket 1150 LGA
-Gt1030
-(4 x2) 8GB ram kingston
-2 TB space seagate
-M73 Lenovo case

And the real incompatibility issue is here:

"A Generic Lenovo PSU which I believe I need to improve/change thanks to the Aerocool Cylon RGB case requirements because of the fan addition it includes, and front panel lighting, as the Lenovo PSU has a lack of connectors to power it, and also some ppl told me that the motherboard is too old to support a change of PSU and case with RGB as it also has kinda the same limits as the current PSU feeding it. But I wonder if someone knows if this motherboard is able to persist with this case and the PSU I brought, mentioned below, or I might just save money for an Asus H81M-Plus or anything better while I wait for the Corsair PSU: CX 650W."

Perhaps, but in this thread, you don't mention anything about which case and power supply you want to purchase. Also, as pointed out in the previous thread, the Lenovo system your Dad purchased has a proprietary motherboard and power supply. You will need an adapter to use a standard power supply with that motherboard.

This is why you stick to one thread (or at least reference your previous thread); so little notes like these don't get lost.

I did mention it :)
Already got an Aerocool cylon RGB and the Corsair 650 Watts PSU, the migration was from a Lenovo M73 to case to that one(aerocool) and of course the PSU I mentioned (corsair) already arrived to replace the Lenovo old PSU.

Sorry if sometimes I sound implicit in my sentences.

Btw, I found the answer and it is a total no for the motherboard I need to get a new one too, same socket and support for the rest of the components.
