I recently bought this PC - http://www.ebuyer.com/579771-zoostorm-desktop-pc-7873-0513
Along with this Graphics card - http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2037&lid=1

This is the first time I've tried to upgrade my computer and I presumed it would just plug in and work. But my PSU only has one 4 pin molex connector and one floppy connector free coming out of it. I received two PCI-E to 4 pin molex connectors with my graphics card which it says it needs both to plug into the PSU and GC to work.

Would I be able to get an adapter for the floppy connection to molex and connect the PCI-E to it or would that do considerable damage? Or would I have to get a new PSU altogether?

Haha would of been interesting to see the outcome of that attempt.
Have you checked that the r9 270x will fit in that case? i remember it being a decently sized card and the case for the PC want to put it in is an mATX case. Not saying it wont fit as it would fit in most mATX but there are some fairly small ones and as its not an aftermarket case there arent any real published GPU max size specs.
