Check if your power supply has a plug with 6 pin socket connector or if the card comes with a 6 pin socket molex adapter if your power supply doesn't come with a 6 pin.

Look up the specifications of your power supply. Even if you don't have a 6-pin pci-express connector, you can get an adapter that connects to two spare 4-pin molex connectors. However, you should also check how many amps the psu provides on the +12V rail.

What is the make and model of the psu?

 

[SchizTech]

Most GPUs that require extra power connectors include an adapter in the box for power supplies which don't have the 6 pin connector built in. It's an adapter with two four-pin MOLEX connectors leading to one six-pin GPU connector.

it may mean a couple of things,
1 you may have an old psu already.
2 if the psu is not that old then it most likely be a low quality one.

be sure to check the specs of your psu, just to be safe. a good 550w psu usually has 2 6-pin

He didn't say it was a 550W psu, he is trying to power a 550 ti graphics card.

Please give us the make, model and wattage of the power supply.

sorry for the confusion, i was just trying to give him/her an idea that good psu's (550w for example) has 2 6-pin usually. more for higher capacity psu's

anyway, i would advice that you start saving for a decent psu. having no 6-pin is not a good sign

Is this a Cyberpower? I find nothing but awful things to say about that power supply.
