Upgrading to GTX 970 with 8 pin PCI-E - dont have 8 pin connector

[AnTIW]

I have G7 780W ATX PC Power Supply, and i5 2320.
I just got GTX 970(asus) to upgrade to.
My PS doesnt have 8pin PCI-E female connector, best solution to my issue?

If a 780w psu doesn't have any 8 pin I would question the quality. You would probably be much better off getting a psu like this:

I advise people to follow the guideline that if the power supply does not have the proper GPU connector it was not actually designed to support that level of gpu.

There is no requirement for a 600w psu to output 600w to be able to put a 600w sticker on it.

Would not trust a $200 GPU to that PSU, let alone a $350 one.

General rule of thumb, never go cheap on the part that can destroy all the other parts.

I know this is more expensive bad news but I agree with the others, you really, REALLY should change that power supply: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html HEC are in the lowest, Tier Five section.
The good news is that the GTX970 isn't a power hog so a decent replacement power supply shouldn't cost a fortune, a Tier 3 unit with the correct PCI-E leads and 600Watts output will be good for your current system, although a higher tier part of the same output will last longer.
