What should I get my alienware aurora r4 to run a nvidia gtx 690

Hi I bought an Alienware Aurora R4 year last May. Here is my card of gooseberry. Although I'm upgrading to 8 GB ram 16 GB.

I want to know if I can just buy and put in an Nvidia GTX 690 or if I need to update some things before hand, I'm pretty new on pc and do not understand all the terms then do the answers as simple as possible please. Also links to things I should buy would be great, I live in the United Kingdom

I can not find my powersupply sticker anywhere, I have even opened up case and looked inside so no idea what my power input is.
I really want to upgrade my graphics card so that I can play on 3 screens as well as have a higher FPs and play at ultra, although the 560 allows me to play in ultra in some games, it does however become super jumpy in Skyrim.
Thanks

Well assuming that your diet is 875Watts and your current GPU GTX 560 ti is using power connectors 2 x 6 pin. The 690 GTX requires however power connectors 2 x 8 pin.

All you have to do is to give the GTX 690 the right amount of power giving him connectors 2 x 8 pin.

Just make sure that you remove your current video adapter and install the GTX 690 in the same dwelling.

GTX 690

GTX 560 TI

Food-

the image above shows the power supply, (hidden by a side cover) all the extra cables are hidden there and should be easily accessible.

The image above shows a 2 connector pins for power in the green zone. When you take out GTX 560 Ti power connectors and place inside 690 GTX you need to add additional power connectors 2-pin.

PS, you might be able to find 8 connectors there though.

Good luck
