Nevermind new question about gfx card

Ok so I think the 3850 will be a good bang for my buck. NOw my only problem is that my psu doesn't have a 6pin connector. Now it says it includes a power cable could this be a like a 6pin to 4 pin connector type thing or do I need a new PSU?

Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.

If the Powerball lottery was like Lotro, nobody would win for 2 years, and then everyone in Nebraska would win on the same day.
And then Nebraska would get nerfed.-pinkwood lotro fourms

    I recommend trying some new boards personally I think you may not find good advice here,

    If your PSU can support a 3870 GPU, then the cables won’t be a problem – you can find adapters for everything.

    You could probably buy an adapter 4pin-to-6pin (or whatever) yourself.

    I have a 400 watt right now. It handled the 8500GT fine.

    My 4870 came with two molex to pci-e 6pin adaptors, so that should be what it is.
