Hi, i just bought video card GTX 1050ti and already got the first problem " turn off pc and connect the power cable pci-e " .( the box had only the video card ,cd-instalation guide , nothing cables ).
After few research on google, i found i can use cable SATA-PCI-e ( my PSU don't have PCI cable).
The main question is ,that cable will be enough or i need to replace PSU too .
The cable: Cable that i bought / amazon
The video cardVideo card that i bought / amazon
PSU PSU / amazon : it is good this PSU or any other idea
Or what can i change more to improve to work better ?

Details : Video Card- Geforce GTX 1050 TI , windforce oc 4g / 4GB, GDDR5/`18bit / PCI-E 3.0x16
Motherboard : ASUS h81m-e/m51ad/dp_mb
Processor : i7-4790S 3,20 Ghz , 16 GB RAM
PSU : DELTA GPS 300JB A ( 300W)( it is enough or i need to change it )

My old video card : GTX 745 4GB ( and i broke the fan and now it fixed with extra fan attached with tape enough to keep cold and let me play :d )

The cable you need is attached to the power supply, it would not be in the box with the videocard. You could use an adapter but I do not recommend it. For one thing, your power supply is a low power 300W. Those are not good choices for a videocard that needs a 6 pin pci-ex connection. So it's not really meant to put out that much power and if you use an adapter you will be making it put out power in a way that it was not designed to do.

Instead, get yourself a new power supply. If money is tight a basic 430W EVGA should be fine. If that computer is a pre-built, and you can't change the power supply, maybe you can exchange the card for a model which does not require a 6 pin connector and that way you can use your current power supply.
