Hey everyone, I have stumbled upon a bit of an issue. Years ago, I decided It would be a wonderful idea to get a prebuilt PC, with full intent on upgrading it. This was a horrible mistake. Now I am presented with an issue
I am using this stock computer

The only things I have added are 4gb of RAM, and a new GPU (GT 630)

My current issue is that I do not have enough power or connector pins ( I think that is correct) to power my new graphics card.

Its a hell of a jump, yes. My only concerns are having enough power for future upgrades, supporting the new card, and having enough connectors for my Mobo, GPU, exc, and actually letting the thing fit inside my case.
What do I have to look for, and if possible, what could work for my system. I was looking into the 700W zone for PSU's. Is this appropriate? I Plan on eventually rebuilding the PC with as much as the mobo allows me to, so essentially a new case, processor, Power supply, and prepherials. ( The GPU should last me more than enough for what I need.)
The largest mistake I have made is I have the GPU right now, and I don't have enough cables to hook up to the card.It uses two 6-pin Power Connectors and i would like a power supply that fits and does as needed. The only issue is that I can't really return this, and am fairly set on using this exact card. Any advice is more than welcome.
For those that are hungry for more questions:
Do PSU'S come with connectors for all the basics of a PC?
What is the difference between ratings?
