Stupid PSU question

[magouster]

I'm no noob, but have never even bothered finding out: Can you use a PCI-e express GFX card with a PSU that has no PCI-e connectors?

Does the 7900GT, for instance, come supplied with a molex-to-PCIe adapter or something? It's just that I have a 600W PSU that I want to temporarily use when upgrading, till I have more money to upgrade the PSU.

Any help is appreciated!

Yeah you can. You need an adapter to go from a regular power connector to a PCI-e connector. I'm not sure if it would come in the box but look around on www.newegg.com and I'm sure you'll find one.
