your gfx card should have one connection .....a pci power socket at its rear end...ur simply grab a pci connector and plug it ...
it says to use power from the power supply and an adapter. So it gets enough power. Theres a molex connector from the card and then two three pin connectors branching from the molex. It came with the card, so do I need it or can I just plug it in the PCI-e slot?
btw I got the xion case and new power supply hooked up.

Basically, I don't have a six pin connector coming from my PSU. Can I plug both of the three pins into two four pins coming from the psu to essentially make a six pin? Or is that a recipe for disaster? Or should I get a 2 four-pin to 6-pin adapter?
you need a 2x molex -> 6 pin pci-e cable.AllmightyOz wrote:

I got my shit up and running. Its freaking NICE. Oh my lord I can run everything at high on every game I have no problem.
By the way, I couldn't install the drivers for my card because I had spyware. Got rid of the spyware and everything worked no problem.
