Can I just buy 6 pin power connectors?

[tannerr12]

I read that my GPU HIS HD7950 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161400 requires 2 6 pin power connectors... do I have to make sure to buy a power supply that comes with this or can I just buy those connectors sepratly? Would this power supply be able to run that GPU or should i look for another one with diffrent connectors?

most psu's in the market nowadays have two 6-pin connectors,just check the psu specs,before buying.
If you are using an older psu that has molex adapters,you need to buy molex to 6-pin adapters

In my opinion if it does not have the connectors, it was not designed for the job and should be avoided. That thermaltake will do the job.

The PSU you link has 4 x 6+2 pin connectors (can be used for either 6 or 8 pin needs). So, pin wise, it's fine.

^^ Agreed. That one is SLI certified and runs 750w. For the most part, it should have more than enough power, and more than enough of the connectors needed, and it's a single rail setup.

You could probably get away with a slightly lower spec unit (600w or so) and still have more than enough overhead unless you're really overclocking it. Also, if you're only running a single GPU, try and find a modular unit (or semi-modular) as that will help you keep your wiring a bit cleaner since you'll only be plugging in what you need.

This would be a little cheaper, and is still a solid PSU (has occasional failures but good warranty):
