I'd like to upgrade video card but psu doesn't have pci-e power wire?

I'm adding a pci-e 2.0 graphics card to my hp and I need to power the graphics card, is there a converter cord for another power wire to pci e for the gpu power?|||Most graphics card with PCIe power connector has an adapter that connects to 4-pin molex of power supply. However, most stock power supply of branded PCs are not powerful enough for graphics cards that have PCIe power connector.



You would be better off with a graphics card that does not have a PCIe power connector. It is a lower wattage card.



If you are really keen on installing a powerful graphics card, you have to upgrade your PC's power supply.
