My graphics card ATI radeon hd 6870 requires 2x 6 pin power connectors.
My PSU has just 4x 4 pin power connectors.
What to do?

That PSU is made by PowerKing and I have not found a single review of it which makes it dodgy at best.
It will certainly not be fit to use with a GPU that need 2x 6pin connectors, especially if it's already (guessing) more than 9-10 years old.

That is just the wattage and the form factor. Open the case and take a look or even better take a picture and upload it to imgur.
