Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I feel like my power supply is too low to run everything that I am upgrading in my system. Original power supply is 320watt without pcie power. 

 

Original system:

Windows 7

Intel Pentium CPU G850 @2.9GHz

12GB DDR3 RAM

onboard video VGA

160GB Western digital Hard Drive

 

What I have upgraded to no problems:

cpu - same

ram - same

hard disk- same

video - AMD Radeon RX 560 2GB

After these components have been upgraded psu is running quite as before.

 

The problem i ran ran into is after changing Ram and hard disk the psu started running loudly and faster. 

I upgraded the hard disk and ram to match what I want below;however, I have yet to install the cpu as I am afraid it could fail in the system immediately after install due to the psu running the way it is. 

I want to know if there is another PSU out there that is compatible with this motherboard considering it doesn’t have the normal P1 power connector. The power supply looks exactly like this one: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232700322970

 

What I want to upgrade to:

Intel i7-2600 3.4GHZ

16GB DDR3 Ram 

1TB Sandisk Ultra SSD for gaming

4TB Seagate Storage 

Video- AMD Radeon RX 560 2GB

@D3ord3nidam ,

It is a business class computer. Your stuck with that 320W PSU because those machines use proprietary motherboard power plugs.  I like to call it a 6 by 4.  The headers on the motherboard are  the 6  (3x2) and the 4 (2x2).  The third power plug is the P1,  I believe it is an inline 7 pin.

Modern ATX power units do not support these style of plugs.

Hello, this is my first post here. I want to find out how you managed to install an AMD Radeon RX 560, because I have the exact same graphics card and computer, and I realized the stock PSU doesn't have a 6-pin PCIe connector. If you'd be so kind, how did you manage to install it without a PCIe connector? Did you use an adapter?

I can't remember which one I used, however, you have to get an adapter. One of the following links should help you out.

Thank you so much! (gave you a kudos) I feel like a complete idiot now because I returned the card unknowing that you had replied to me, and purchased a GTX 1050 Ti Low Profile. Although, now I know which adapter to look for in the future. Again, thank you for the reply.
