About upgrading my gpu

[crabstikz]

So im planning on buying a gtx 960 but I dont see any PCI-E connectors that are connected from my power supply, will the gpu come with some that I connect to the motherboard?

I have a A10N-9830E motherboard so is my motherboard not compatable or is my power supply not compatable. And are there any GPU's that are compatable with a A10N-9830E motherboard?

No. You'll need direct power from the PSU. You may need to get a different PSU.

It doesnt work like that,the power supply must come with the required cables,and if your doesnt then you need to swap it out.

Try looking for a low profile GTX 1050 TI,its nearly identical in performance and may not need extra power depending on what exact 1050 ti you got.

Not sure if I understood exactly what you meant, but some graphic cards don't have power connectors, they draw their power needs from the PCIE slot, which means their power usage is capped at 75W. This kind of GPUs typically don't support overclocking.

For example, these two GTX 1650 cards:

 

With power connectors

 

Without power connectors

will i still have to swap out my power supply?

if you want the GTX 960 or a more powerfull GPU in the future then yes.

Remember only some 1050 TI's are without a 6 pin power connector.

Are you sure that the specific gtx 960 you're buying does have power connectors? There are graphic cards that don't.

So your PSU might be made for such a case.

The 960 doesnt have a model without a power connector.

Use google for godness sake!

Will these types of connectors work and where would i have to plug the white part into?

If really your psu doesn't have any you need another one

 

This seems a 6 to 2*8 converter it won't work in your case but there are others with a molex 4 pin. Still you should buy another one, your psu hasn't got enough juice

They are not reccomended as they can be a fire hazard and often a GPU uses them because it needs the extra power,you cant take a shortcut.

In this case its not possible to power the gpu using IDE(which is the white thing) it simply doesnt supply enough W.

The gtx 960 uses 120W the pcie slot supplies 75w and the 6 pin power supplys the other W.

You need a  better power supply.Full stop.

By google i mean look it up.

If so,then dont bother giving advice to people.
