No. As far as I know, there are no SATA to PCI-E power adapters. I'd recommend getting a new power supply to support your new graphics card.

you can maybe find them on eBay, but depending on what graphics card and power supply you have, it might be safer to budget for a stronger power supply instead.

+Bianca Marton I can certainly appreciate that you have a brand new graphics card that you're dying to play with ASAP, but you very likely do indeed need to purchase a new power supply. In order to confirm this, would you mind stating your full computer specs? CPU, memory, storage, power supply manufacturer and model #, old graphics card, new graphics card, etc. I presume that you're in Australia or New Zealand by the google link you supplied, so I'm aware that PC components are expensive there. If you supply the above information, as well as a website URL, that you're comfortable purchasing a power supply from, we can help you select one within your budget.

they do make sata to pcie adapters but like the other types they are not a good idea to use. there is a reason the psu does not have the needed cable. the maker of the psu knows it can't handle the load so they did not include the cable.

as rcald noted we can easily help you find a new psu within your budget with the pc specs and a link to a store or 2. it's something we do all the time for our members here

I know this really pins the budget, but I'd look at this power supply: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/VCxfrH/antec-power-supply-hcg520m
It has two 6+2 PCI-E power connectors.

EVGA 430W for $59
surprisingly good, as long as your graphics card only needs a 6pin or 8pin power connector
