Yes, if your GPU requires external power.

I need it to power on computer?

If you have a graphics card installed that requires external power from the power supply, then it needs to be plugged in. If you do not have a discrete graphics card or you have one that does not have a 6-pin or 6+2pin PCI-E power port(s), then no. It does not need to be plugged in.

Ok thank you because i have a gt 420

The GT420 does not require external power from the power supply. It draws all it needs from the motherboard slot. There is no need to plug in the 6-pin power cable anywhere.
