I’m handling night shifts at a company where most of the time I’m sitting and doing nothing—it’s pretty dull. My work PC is decent (i5-6400 CPU), but the case setup is odd: only one cable connects to the motherboard, and all SATA drives are powered directly from the motherboard. Do you know if there’s a low-power GPU you could install inside? Here’s the PSU picture.

Unless it's a family enterprise and you're a relative, this seems like a really poor choice.

Don't stress too much—integrated graphics should handle basic games or older AAA titles at reduced settings

No one pays attention to what I do once I finish my tasks, though it’s likely mentioned on my contact info that I can be fired for computer misuse. Generally people don’t care until something happens. Grab some games on your phone and a power cord.

I've been here for more than three years now and I've tried some games on this PC, mainly older titles like Diablo 1 and 2. I'm interested in playing newer games, perhaps Fallout 4.

Perhaps swap the PSU and purchase a different GPU, such as an 1650 Super or an 1660 model.

I also looked into that choice, but the mobo uses an unusual connector (about 16 pins) and the case won’t match any other PSU design.
