Recently I got a GTX 570 graphics card but my power supply does not have or i cant find a six pin wire. The GTX 570 needs a six pin wire from the power supply to plug into it to make it work but I cant find where the 6 pin wire is OR it doesn't have one please help. Thanks.

A standard ATX fully wired psu without a 6 pin pcie connector means it was not designed as being capable of powering anything needing a 6pin connector. While fully capable of running your system, its probably way too small to add an extra 75w for a low end gpu.

You'll need to upgrade the psu. Unless it's a funky model, most gtx570 required the psu to be @550w and have 2x 6pin connectors or a single 6+2/8 pin connector.
