Craig- wrote You could solve this yourself.

Get a tape measure and measure the distance between the HDD cage and the PCI brackets, if its long enough, perfect. Also measure from the PCI x16 lane and the side of the case, if that is big enough order the full 760 and enjoy gaming.


That works I am pretty sure. But its the width I am worried about. Since I only have 1 slot I believe in my case.

Okay, so I got the long 760 and it fit!

BUT

I ran into a few problems.

1) I pluged the 8 pin (graphics card) to 2 6 pin connectors (Cables from the psu) with sucess. But It says I need to plug in a 6pin(graphics card) to the psu with these 2 molex on the other end I believe.)I can find where these 2 molex cables plug into. Is Any help?

2) I have a psu that is 600w and some other stuff. I know for the gtx 760 you need atleast 30 amps on the 12V rail. On my psu, it says these things, +12Va=16a, +12Vb=18a, 12Vc=12a, 12Vd=10a. So do I add all of these 12V things up and that will give me 56a on the 12v rail?

Which GTX760 did you get?

Which exact model of PSU do you have?

So the card has one 6-pin power input and another 8-pin input.

What you will either need to do is the following:

- Use exsisting PCIe power cables from the PSU to plug directly in there. They usually come in the format of 6-pin or 6+2-Pin.

- Use 6-pin/8-pin to molex converters (sometimes supplied with card) to connect the cards power to the alternate power connector called MOLEX. it is a four pin socket type which also comes from the PSU.

Did that help?

I only have 2 6 pin connectors from the psu which are in use from the 8 pin to 6pin cable. I only have a 2 pin and a 4 pin coming out the psu now. The other cable for the gpu is a 6pin to 2 molexs. What do I plug in or am I missing some cords?

Probably be easier to take a photo of it and link it here, unless im being stupid and someone else can make sense of it.

To be honest if it's a HP power supply it could be the case of the system being pre-built and not meant for enthusiast hardware that requires more power cables. Might just be made with less connectors than you need.
