    All PCIe Graphics cards come with a molex (HD power) to PCIe converter. If you don't have one you can buy them online.

    if its a shapphire pci-e i wounld'nt hold my breath ...i got my x800xt and couldnt use it till a bought a new psu...cos back then nobody even knew that there was a different type of power connection for pci-e never mind where to get one and the antec neo-power was the only psu on the market that had one built into it... ...and due to the fact that the company said to keep the overall cost of the card down they didnt throw in a 2 euro 6pin adaptor with a 569 euro graphics card ...i got it in the end thanks to the lads in peats...who it has to be said have never let me down...i have one aswell if your badly stuck im in dublin 12 if your near by
