Thanks for the info,Im getting it because i wanna upgrade the graphics card on the pc & it requires a power supply of atleast 430 wats

Im look to buy this card Product list & it requires a pci-e16 6 pin connector it says on the page it comes with one but where do i plug the other end of the 6 pin connector to do i just connect it to one of my molex connectors that come from my power supply ?

 

[advancedgeek]

usually there are 6 pin connectors on new power supplies but if not there might be a chance that the graphics card might be bundled with 4 pin legacy connector to 6 pin.just check which kind of power supply you are getting as you shouldn't skimp on a psu. there is a guide of which power supply to get here: http://www.techist.com/forums/f76/updated-power-supply-guide-137927/

My power supply dosnt have a 6 pin connector but it says the graphics card comes with one

 

[advancedgeek]

if that's the case then yes just use the 4 pin molex power connectors with the cable that came to convert 6 pin to 4 pin which is good especially when your power supply doesn't have it.
