Okay so heres the thing, I bought a pre built Computer thinking it was good, but the graphics card wasnt good at all. Here you can see my computer specs --->http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAG... Yes I know its a long link. Okay so my computer has a 460w psu. I was thinking about installing a good graphics card for it.

This is the Graphics card ----->http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=94132&gclid=CPvb1o6...

I know that it supports my psu, Problem is, I dont know if it connects to Psu

I opened my Computer and the PSU is awkwardly on the ceiling of my case.
The graphics card is right underneath it and The PSU looks like it is encased in metal.
I dont want to try and disconnect anything yet
I need help

Try another link to your machine. The above requires a sign-in to HP. If your PSU doesn't have a 6 pin PCIe connector, chances are it isn't a real 460W PSU. Are you able to read the nameplate on the side of the PSU?

The PSU says HP on the side of it. Lots of colored wires come out of the PSU and its all tied up neatly. The wire has one component that has 6 holes for something to connect in.

You're probably OK if the PSU has the 6 pin connector. Generally, the PSU manufactured won't add that if the PSU is too cheap and can't handle the extra load. (no matter what the total wattage is listed as) If you could see the nameplate on the side of the PSU, it would be helpful. I'm interested in the +12V rating. But I would say that the PSU will handle the R9-270 OK.
