GPU : GeForce GTX 960

thanks for help and knowledge let me know !

It appears you have a Dell computer based on your motherboard. The issue here with Dell, their PSUs and their motherboards, is that Dell makes their own proprietary cables/connectors between the PSU and motherboard. You, or someone else willing to help, will have to search well in order to find that correct PSU.

So am I off just replacing the whole computer than?

My thoughts on this is yes, get a new desktop or build your own. But your original plan is not impossible. It's just more work than expected, more work than your typical DIY approach.

You could also try reaching out to Dell and see if they have spare PSUs that would match that motherboard. There are also third party companies that sell Dell parts.

as far as i remember, connectors are just the same, the size of the psu probably custom.
il still check that option out, your setup aint bad, an upgrade for GPU and PSU would be great.

could put an 3060 here and be very happy

but check carefully for sizes...i bet the case is small also.
