my power supply is dumb

[Drinibeans1]

im trying to upgrade my power supply, but the only problem is that it has non-standard size connectors

all of the pins are tiny, becuase its one of those slim computers

anyone know where to get a power supply, able to run a nice graphics card, not too expensive with the tiny connectors...

doesnt matter how big it is physically...i dont plan on leaving it in the case...so...any help is appreciated!

If you just want to upgrade the GFX, I'm sure you can, if it has enough power. If it has a fair amount of watts and amps, just get a 4pin to 6pin converter.

what do you mean 4pin/6pin connectors?

and my power supply right now only has like 160 watts...

Wow! Do you happen to have pics or your computer model number?

Hmm.... most likely the PSU is not Standard ATX... thus "Slim..."...

I say return it and build a custom.

You can try a 4 pin or 6 pin converter .. Well yea you can upgrade your gfx

ok i said this without any support earlier, but heres my explanation, i think that you should return it and go with a custom because if you are upset about having a slim line already, and you have not tried to upgrade much, you are going to have nothing but problems in the future trying to get low profile cards and everything else, if you build custom, you can spend close to the same amount of cash and imho get a much better build
