My read is that he used something that wasn't the 8pin pci-e connector into that socket. In which case it's dead, psu and card.

if it was just the psu that died then 50:50 for the GPU.

It's really difficult to read, not sure what the 1030 is.

Hi

Usually PCI-e 12V cables are black + yellow
So I would not expect red 5V wires on the correct adapter
Usually PCI-e 8 pin are for cards using more amps than 6 pin connector
300w atx psu probably not suitable

Only expert can examine gtx 460 and see if (visible) damage can be repaired

Does mother board have integrated graphics chip you can use until someone can test the gtx 460 for you

Looks like the OP tried to put a molex to 8 pin cable in the 460.
The 460 simply draws too much current; no way it'll work on a 300W unless it's from some company which hugely understates their PSU's.
The 460 itself requires 160W of power, that's 53% of the TOTAL wattage of the PSU.
You'll need a 500W.

The PSU and card both are zapped; sorry.
Also, PSU zapping could imply other components are gone too maybe. You should try examining your CPU and if looks fine then put in another motherboard and test.
