Thank you again for the quick and thorough response. I think I found what you are looking for. I found Power T3chnology EP-400PM. At least, I hope this is right. 😶
@thiswebsitesux That looks right, specifically that this is a 400W power supply with no rating. That's not necessarily a bad thing for a low-end system, but after a few years, I wouldn't necessarily count on it to be performing at full capacity. More importantly, it looks like the unit does not have a cable that could supply supplementary power to a graphics card, so you'd be limited to GPUs that draw all their power from the PCIe slot. In terms of modern cards, you'd be looking at an Nvidia GTX 1050 (regular or ti) or some models of 1650 (check the specs of the card or look for a connector on the card), or the slower GT 1030. None of these draw enough power to overwhelm this PSU even if it's starting to lose some of its capacity.
If you have access to one of these cards, there's no harm in testing one out. And they're not that expensive either, at least used. So maybe it's worth taking a flier on a used 1050 ti on Ebay and seeing where that gets you. Otherwise, you're looking at a new PSU and a graphics card along the lines of a GTX 1060; the processor couldn't really take advantage of anything higher than that.
