Hello,

I recently purchased a Radeon HD4870 and unfortunately have discovered that I only have a 6 pin plug which doesn't fit the HD4870. It requires a 12 pin. Does anyone know of a connector I could use or a cheapish power supply with the appropriate plugs for this? Thanks!
 
Hiper 580w HPU-4M580 SLi Certified ATX2.2 PSU is what I currently have. Trying to spend as little as possible on this so even ebay or anything works for me here tbh.
 
Your current PSU is actually fine. According to Google you should have a 2 way molex to 6pin that came with your PSU in the box. That plus the one that is built in will provide enough power off what you already have, as the other two that you linked are technically worse.

If you insist on buying a new PSU, the cheapest I could recommend is a Corsair CX500.
 
Hmm I don't have them anymore, the boxes etc that is. Could you link one of these connectors and I could just do that instead? :S I can't seem to find any. I can find 2x4 molex to 6 pin pcie.
