Default Help, No power for graphics card..?

Hey i recently got a HP Compaq D301 for £25 off my uncle, ive got
760 RAM Intel Celeron 1.70GHz and its got some rubbish graphics card, dont know what its called I think its Intel 82845G/GL graphics controller,
In my old pc i had a graphics card it was 7600 gs nvidia 256mb AGP..
So i opened up my D301and found the graphic slot so i put it in the slot, but there was not power wire to attach to it... so what should i do?

Get an adapter off eBay or something.

The bigger concern is whether the stock PSU is up to snuff.

If your PSU is a debranded PSU, get yourself a Corsair 450W unit, will last you a long time, even for future builds. If you've got a decent PSU, just get yourself an adapter as Carbon said.
