[SOLVED] I need help with PSU

[IneedToUseSomeNewName]

Greetings!
Here is the problem. I have HP EliteDesk 800 g1 twr https://support.hp.com/ph-en/document/c03808397 . It has :

• -CPU: i7 1770
• -Nvidia GeForce GT 730
• -160 gb SSD, 500gb HDD
• -motherboard looks like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/203497782305 .
• -320 PSU https://www.ebay.com/itm/144070438371
• -16gb RAM KVR16N11K2/16

I want to install Asus R9270X 2gb GPU ( https://www.asus.com/SupportOnly/R9270XDC2T2GD5/HelpDesk_Knowledge/ ), which i already own. Further, i need new PSU because R9270X needs at least 500W based on my googling. But i cant seem to find proper PSU.
PSU is connected to motherboard witth 3 cables:

• -6 (2*3)pin
• -4 (2*2)pin
• -6 (1*6)pin but only 4 wires

Now i believe i also need 2*6 pci-e for GPU. Now the second issue is that i have no idea if i can run this GPU with other components.
Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The issue with your platform is that the PSU and essentially the motherboard are proprietary, meaning you can't drop off the shelf PSU's into your case in spite of the screw mounting on the back of the PSU as well as the unit being of ATX form factor however you could look into this adapter/converter but I wouldn't advise on running that GPU, that connector in that prebuilt given how the prebuilt has it's own set of specs/usage cases and none of them are for "gaming". To add, that R9 270x isn't going to be a cool card by any means, and the case doesn't exactly have good ventilation for heatware.

Thank you for your reply kind stranger.
I had a feeling that my plan isnt so foolproof. I know this PC isnt meant for gaming, but since I got the GPU laying on the shelf i thought about giving it a try . Now about the heat; i was planning on getting intake fan, since there isnt installed, But i guess the new GPU would kinda block the airflow and as you said case and whole build isnt meant for these kind of use. Because I am not so knowledgeable, I just figured it would be better to ask than just YOLO it.
