I'm trying to upgrade my graphics card from a Geforce GT640 to a Geforce GTX950. I'm new at this so didn't realize to check the power supply. I need 350 instead of the 300 that it had. I bought a new power supply but when I went to install it, there is no 24 pin connection on the motherboard. The old power supply hooked up via a four pin and six pin connector. My question is do I need to have the 24 or is the 4 and 6 fine? The computer is an Acer Aspire with a microstar M5-7829 motherboard.
Here is a picture of the motherboard that I found online, mine's the same but has parts installed.
