Would I be able to adapt a non proprietary PSU to a propriety one

So I have a small form factor PC with a custom PSU, which for the recommended GPU specs, is under powered and I was thinking of upgrading into the very near future.

I was thinking I could get a normal PSU, find a small case or some form of housing for it and then get an adapter (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-to-10-Pin-ATX-Lenovo-PSU-Power-Supply-Motherboard-Adapter-Cable-/122365860453?hash=item1c7d92da65:g:1jsAAOSwawpXs0IS) but I'm worried the higher Wattage will not work with the 10 pin connection.

Do you reckon the adapter will work? Or is it generally impossible?

The PSU isn't custom, it's just a Server Rackmount style PSU: https://www.amazon.com/FSP-Bronze-Supply-Industrial-FSP350-701UJ/dp/B016O1L17E
The 700w bronze one should support any GPU you want: https://www.amazon.com/FSP-Bronze-Supply-Industrial-FSP350-701UJ/dp/B009VTLHXK?th=1

The only problem is all those PSUs are really loud, because they're designed for servers that are locked in a closet somewhere away from people with ears.

Alright, thanks. That makes a bit more sense and it's good to know I actually have a way of upgrading, even if it's at the cost of sound.
