Heh, I wouldn't worry about a new case, it's just something I thought I'd bring up. But ya, as long as a new case is the correct form factor. But unless you have cash to toss, I wouldn't bother with another case. I usually only get enw cases when my old one gets too small, or i want better cooling. With only one hard drive and that cool-running card, it's not really a concern.

Ive dealt with several of these HP cases and you will defiantly have issues fitting that card in it. I would for sure measure the clearance you have in the case to allow for the card.

Also the power supply you have is a 350 W

I have removed the guts from several of these HP computers and installed them in newer larger cases with no problems at all

Personally I would recommend, if finances allow it to get a case/PSU combo . You will benefit for power needs. future upgradability and case cooling.
