Hi, where do I plug this (http://imgur.com/YvxyVSt) into my pc.

I have a HP Pavilion 500 Series and want to plug the 3 pin power supply into my pc but don't know where. It is coming from my ASUS GTX750ti graphics card.

Please help me, thanks :)

The picture you posted is a MOLEX connector. Since you say it is coming from your graphics card, it must be the case that your power supply doesn't have the necessary PCIe power connectors. The MOLEX connectors would connect to disk drive power connectors. You may not have any of them free.
You will need to look at the power supply and reply what the wattage is. My guess is that your power supply may not be enough to support your new graphics card.

My power supply can manage 300 watts. The graphics card requires 60 watts and says a minimum of 300. So that should be fine, right?

I saw a number of Asus 750ti cards. I didn't find a recommended minimum power supply...

As I said, the plugs you pictured would plug into disk power adapters. There might be one or two tucked into the case near the disk drive(s). You may have to purchase splitter(s) to get enough disk power connectors.
