Default PSU upgrade on a HP Media center

Hey all
HP sold me a puter w/a PCI -e slot but no pci-e plug coming out of the small 300w. psu. What can I use as a good 500w. psu that will hook up. Or am I missing something here ???? Theres a p4,p6, & p8 plugs here extra. No 6 prong pci-e. I'm wantin to put a nice 8600 series card in it. Onboard vid sux !!!!
Thanks. Model HP PCm7257c

The PSU is a standard ATX. you shouldn't have any trouble replacing it. Check the Tutorials sticky for a link to the PSU guide.
