The current power supply does not have the 8 pin PCIE plug required to power the new GPU.  The motherboard does not have the standard 24 pin motherboard connector and it appears to be smaller than standard.  What can I replace it with, it needs to be 500W power supply and have the 8 pin PCIE socket.

    The power supply is one of the new ATX12VO supplies. They are new this year so the PSU manufacturers are taking their sweet time in releasing larger models.

    And, or course, that one will  not work since it is not an ATX12VO supply.
