    Can you elaborate "...and it doesn't work" ?

    I believe TC-895 comes with 300W 12 volt only power supply, which is not a current standard ATX PSU (maybe the 12 volt only PSU  will become the standard in the future). Is your EVGA supernova 750W G3 working fine ( I mean if the connectors fit  the TC-895 motherboard well and the PC works without the graphics card added) ? TC-895 users currently having headache finding  a PSU upgrade. If the 750 W Supernova connectors can fit the TC-895 motherboard then it is a potential upgrade.

    TC-885 uses 9th generation Intel CPU and I believe the TC-895 uses 10th generation CPU, so the CPU socket is different.

    the gpu works, however it needs power. the equipped psu isn't strong enough.
    The PC works fine, just wanted to upgrade.

    Acer has 500W supplies available for other models, and since the form factor is the same they can be used on yours. Two Acer part numbers for 500W supplies are: DC.5001H.001 and DC.5001B.009.

    those are both difficult to find. couldnt even find an image. would either of them have the connector for the gpu?

    Likely they do, the 500W PSUs are typically only used on systems that have a discrete GPU that needs the extra power.
