HP s5220f slimline computer

I have an hp s5220f slimline computer. Recently I tried to to add a patriot 3.0 USB 1/2 height card which installed easily, except that it needs power to a male 4 prong molly which does not seem to be available. The pci slot seems to be second from the edge with another pci covered by the power supply. Any sugestions on the slot placement (is it the second as recomended) and how can I supply power to the card (a line splitter converter, if lucky. ). Will I need a different power supply? If so, which one? wattage? I want the USB 3.0 badly as i am a photograper and load my drives with as much as 1,000 pictures at a time.

If you already have one molex 4 pin, get this one to two molex 4 pin converter here: http://3btech.net/lide4mopoyad.html

Not sure if there is a molly of this type in the computer but check today!

If you have the 4 pin molex, it may be attached to the optical drive. Newegg has some power supplies like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151090 if you decide to replace it. Seasonic, fortron fsp, and antec are all good.

Don't see an optical but replacing the power supply seems a winner.
