I just purchased a graphics card, and I know that my computer can hold it. However I need to get a different power supply, mine only has 240 Watts. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125452 This is the graphics card I purchased but I cannot find the Pin type on here. I need to know what pin connectors I would need on my power supply in order to make this work.

A GeForce GT 610 needs 16 amps on the 12v + rail and a 300 watt power supply , no additional PCIE power connections are needed.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 29 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x HDMI. GeForce GT 610 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCIe 2.0 x16 interface.

It may even run on your current setup.

This is a basic run-down of my system at the current time. I am attempting to do more work to it but at the moment I just need a graphics card somewhat better than my current. Let me know if this changes anything or if it sheds more light. Thanks again!
