We don't really need the entire specs of your system.

What you need is a power supply with the right amount of wattage and enough amps on the12v rail for whatever video card you plan on getting.

From my understanding though, the ultra slims leave you with next to no options in terms of getting anything because they are just so small.

Just from a quick google.
135W PSU

I couldn't find much about the motherboard and what slots you have for cards. But I don't think it would matter you simply don't have the space for anything.

What you have there is an office PC.
