SO, with all this being said:
and i know this is a long shot, but is there a way i can take a low wattage power supply and hook up ONLY the PCIE connection and make the 4060 work?

I have never done this before and i wanted to ask before doing it so i don't blow up my machine lol...well that wouldn't be too funny to me heh ;)

ANY help is very much appreciated!!!!!!
You need an adapter to safely turn on/off 2 PSUs simultaneously.
