I think the only other cheap option would be to buy a PC Case + PSU. Sometimes the PSU in these are not great but its an option.
Not sure it's worth doing but here it is in all its glory

I was posting the case with PSU to transfer all your old hp stuff to it and then buy that card
TDP for that card is about 120 watts so it's possible it would work as is in your old computer

Yes, you can do and then that will help with the PSU issue. I would only do this if you are low on cash and need a cheap and dirty fix.

before you take the jump are you comfortable working in side a computer and removing the motherboard?
it may not be the easiest thing to get your feet wet

- If you want to play better games
- If know how to swap out parts
- If you're on a tight budget
- If you want to upgrade that graphics card and keep that PC then this is the only way.
If you are happy with above then yes it's a cheap fix. This is the only way to resolve that crappy PSU issue. Granted your not upgrading to the best case and PSU but it should work if you're on a tight budget.
same card for $38 14hrs left no bids
