"seriously? Not one of these power cables goes to a GPU!"

I recently bought my little sister a desktop along with a basic graphics card, only to find out that, despite having WAY too many molex power cables (5-6) the PSU didn't have one PCIe cable for a graphics card! Granted, it's only a 350 watt PSU, but I didn't know that when I bought it, and the tech who BUILT this computer, despite knowing my intentions, didn't think to let me know I would need an adapter.

So I went back to the computer store and bought a molex to PCIe adapter, only to come home and realize I bought the wrong type of PCIe(GPU needs an 8 pin, I got a 6 pin). UGH. So I went back to the store, but the techs had left and there was only a store clerk who couldn't sell me the part because he didn't have access to it or knowledge of their spare parts.

I still have yet to get that adapter.... such a pain. I sure hope it will even work.

Comment "pineapple" if you actually read this rant lol.
