Question My mother board does not have a 24 pin input i am trying to upgrade psu

[miguelt1]

I have a asus aspire tc 895 and i am trying ti upgrade the power supply to add in a new gpu (gtx 1070) only problem is that i noticed that my mother board does not have a 24 pin input is there anyway i can get around this problem? Im just getting into building computers and thought a great way to start was a gpu upgrade. Thanks

If you haven't already bought the gtx 1070, this has been suggested in a review:
'A low-powered, slot-power-only video card could be a solution, but you're otherwise restricted. Some calculations we did on the venerable Outervision PSU Calculator suggest you could squeak in a GeForce GTX 1650 card with the PSU in this configuration, provided the card is short enough and doesn't need a dedicated power connector.' (https://au.pcmag.com/old-desktop-pcs/85864/acer-aspire-tc-895-ua91).
I don't know of any easy way to get around the nonstandard PSU.
Another option would be to sell the asus aspire tc 895 and build a new system.

And with that new motherboard, you'll need to do a whole OS reinstall as well.

10th gen CPU with relatively low IPC is not worth to upgrade. You better sell the whole computer and start over again with a complete new custom built.

What's the brand and model of the PSU you bought?
