recently i bought a new pc from my friend and cpu is amd 6800k(it is hp microtower 6305)...i am thinking to buy a new gpu for this system. for my need amd rx 460 is sufficient(i think it ) . so i am thinking to buy that.. but cpu has some wierd type of power connectors and only limited connectors that i never seen in my life and internet also. i searched a lot but i cant find a psu greater than 300w for amd rx 460 . so im thinking to use a separate psu for amd rx 460...so please tell me which psu is best and what to do for separate power..
cpu is installed in hp microtower 6305.
i already bought the gpu. so please help me

I'm not sure how easily these computers can be upgraded. Many people have tried to upgrade these types of computers, but I have heard many having problems with the MB not detecting a graphics card in the PCI slot. Also the PSU are usually connected strangely, so you can't put another in.
I understand your idea to use a second PSU, but like I said above, the MB might not accept the card anyway. So I wouldn't recommend it.

I doubt the motherboard will be an issue, most of these prebuilds that will not play with newer cards are old old models.

His is a fairly modern fm2 & should be running uefi bios anyway.

What PSU is in that HP??

If it's the 320w model there are a number of bus powered rx460's that will work on it absolutely fine
