Hello I just got a computer with i5 2400, but it has no going so the psi in this pc is low (about 200w)
But I also have 960 gym and 450w seasonic psu. When I will connect the gpi what should I do with the other pay? Can I just connect it to the CPU somehow??

Thanks a lot

Swap the power supply out as long as your board has a 4 / 8 pin for the CPU and a 20 /24 pin for the motherboard.
If you have one of the odd 10 pin connectors you can buy a adapter for that.

What is the PC? Replacing the supply isn't always a straight up options when your looking at SFF and proprietary designs. OEM's are known to have PC's that uses a custom plugs that wont straight up work with a ATX supply unless you locate a Adapter or do some custom rewiring to get the fans and power button working.
