NEED HELP!! PSU connecting to GPU

Hello,

 

I have a question about my PSU. I bought a computer about 3 years ago and it has a non-modular PSU. There is no graphics card in my PC, so I want to buy one. The problem is that my PSU only has 1 cable left, but I don't know if this works on a graphics card. In the pictures you can see which port/cable it is. I don't know the name, I'm sorry, I hope you do.

 

This is the graphics card I was going to buy: https://www.newfrog.com/product/gtx-750ti-2gb-128bit-gddr5-graphics-card-for-nvidia-geforce-203246?currency=EUR&gclid=CjwKCAjw9qfZBRA5EiwAiq0AbecCBi3_8Mhe8yc1ut3QcKwjxNn5NR77dP6GhC1_2mYvq2HtyJmf4hoCphQQAvD_BwE

 

It comes with a 6pin power connector with 2 other connectors on the backside. 

 

My question: Does the cable in the pictures fit on the cable that comes with the GPU? If not, are there any cables that I can buy that will connect these 2 cables together?

Thanks for helping!

No, that cable will not work with a graphics card and there is no cable that will work to connect that cable (SATA Power) to the graphics card power. For a new graphics card, it looks like you will need to purchase a new powersupply as well. Usually (in my experience at least) Power Supplies that are missing the cable for a video card are usually not powerful enough to run them anyway.

 

Sorry man!

The cables you took a photo of is SATA power, which powers your hard drives or adapters. The card should come with included molex to PCI-E adapters so you should be good.

in the last picture you got a molex to pcie adapter , converter that's the only thing that might work if your psu wattage permits .

What psu do you ? 

This is all I can find on it. I also can't open the PSU unless I cut it in half or something.

Ha okay, thanks everyone. I was planning on building my own 2000eu pc anyways. I just don't have the money yet, that's why I wanted to buy a 35eu GPU. I guess I'll just have to wait a few weeks untill I have enough money haha.

There is definitely no way you will run a nice graphics card with a power supply that can only give 220 watts. I'd get something like a 450 Watt PSU, and that should be good for any mid-range GPU you get.

In this case it makes sense to replace it, if ATX compatible.

That's only a 220W PSU...

 

What PC is it??

That's a SATA cable. No GPU has SATA power in. You need to get a new PSU. 

 

A CX450 looks like a great option for you
