most Graphics cards these days want 1 or 2 of the CPU connectors but you can get adaptors to make Molex connectors into GPU connectors. To find that out look at the Power Supply Unit (the part where the power lead plugs in) it should have the wattage printed on it, then trace the bundle of wires coming off it and take note of what is not plugged in, the ones of most interest for connecting an extra GPU are molex which is a rectangle with 4 holes in it or the 6/8 pin GPU connector, which is usual 2 rows of 3 pins, sometimes with an extra 2 pins which will clip on to make it 2x4.
