This is the computer I bought and I was told it would be able to run a 1080 gpu.

I finally went out and bought this gpu http://www.frys.com/product/8866902?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

I don't seem to have enough pins to power it. Is the computer compatible? I just want to see if I was lied to, and if i need to, what I can do to properly power the gpu?

The system can run the GPU, the power supply however, cannot.
The power supply will have to be replaced with a quality unit.

(A friendly word of advice, dont listen to FRY's staff, they dont seem to know much from personal experience)

Hello... There are 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors... what do you have and what do you need?

Can you post a img of the Power Supply label for us?

Depends on your budget: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/corsair-power-supply-cp9020091na,evga-power-supply-110b20750vr,xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9/
Just a few units.

Hooking up a new PSU is actually very simple. When you take the current unit out, look where each cable goes (take pictures along the way, it helps). The new unit will follow the same pattern. Its very easy cause if it dont fit it dont go there.

Hello... Be careful removing the OLD PS connectors... There are "Press Latches" on some of them... take a closer look at things if the connector won't release.
