Hi, I recently had to switch computers due to some problems with the hard drive. Now, my new PC's graphics are not very good but my old one is. My old graphics card had a separate power supply for it, but, my new one does not. Is there any way to add a power supply or get my graphics in there? If so, how, please. Thank you!

A quality 450W power supply would be just fine, something like the new model Corsair CX450 (not the one with the green letters).

Not much to really describe. You put it in your PC and hook up the cables. There are a lot of PC building videos on YouTube to look at if you need.
