Hey everyone I'm new here and posting this on Christmas, so Merry Christmas!
I just received an nVidia GTX 650TI Graphics card from my brother. I had no idea he was getting me this! Which is good and bad. We found out just a little while ago that I do not have a strong enough PSU. I currently have a 320w and I need a recommended 400w+ I found one on newegg that is a nice price and 450w. Here is my question. How do I know that the PSU from newegg has all the right connectors for my PC. The details with the PSU on newegg dont seem show or tell what connectors they have.

This is my computer (I dont know if this will help)

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. I hope I can get this figured out so I can actually use my new Graphics Card! Thanks in advance!

Awesome! Thanks John. I have one quick question. There are a couple of thin cords that are connected to things I have never really seen before. I'm not too knowledgeable with all the inside parts of a computer. The thin cords have some weird circular connector, its really really small. Will I have a problem with not having this thing cords?
 
Can you post pics of these connectors? Some OEM computers have proprietary connections, meaning you won't find them in any other computer.

I really apologize for the Picture quality, all I have is my phone. I may have answer my own question however. When I traced the thin cables back to their origin they did not lead to the PSU. They just went inside the top of the case. I'm thinking these are maybe LED's?
 
I really can't tell what they are, pic is way too small. They could be the power switch and HDD led connections.
