Hello,
I bought this PC:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02779501
I'm looking to install this GPU - http://eu.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=02G-P4-2670-KR&family=GeForce%20600%20Series%20Family&uc=EUR
Which requires a 500w Power supply with 30A on the rails. Now here's where things get interesting, apparently you can't upgrade the PSU on this computer, it has a proprietary PSU.

After searching for hours, it appears the only solutions are to get a dual PSU setup. How does that work exactly? Would it work? I guess the idea is to get a second PSU, and the plug the 2 6-pin power adapters into the GPU directly. Would that work or would I run a risk of frying my motherboard?
Thanks for your help, and I have a decent sized budget so any solutions would be very much appreciated!
