I want to install gt 730 graphics card which requires 300w power supply.....My pc (workstation) has total 475w power supply......but it gives only upto 75 watt power supply to x16 pcl-e slot... so do i need buy new power supply or do i need to to just use pcl-e power supply cable separately?

Hello
you should know the exact model of the graphics card, but
the power supply should be sufficient, this type of card is very low consumption in general.


Having said that, I don't understand:
or do i need to to just use pcl-e power supply cable separately?
If the card needs an additional connector, yes it will have to be connected anyway!
