Graphics card and Dell 460 watt psu

[lost22]

hello, I don't really know much about power supplies. I think the Dell 460 watt has 2 - 6 pin adapters to use for a video card.

a card I want to get needs 1 - 6 pin and 1 - 8 pin.

does this mean it will not work with the power supply? or are there adapters or anything that would make it work?

You will need some molex to 8 pin connector, but if your PSU doesn't come with those connectors than the odds are that you aren't supposed to be using that much of a powerful card. also I doubt your PSU could handle a card that you described.

What card are you using and what is your full build?

i7 4790, 16gb ram, 1HD. the video card is a gtx 960, which requires a 400 watt psu.

You should be fine, but not sure if its a good enough PSU, I is a 460w but it may only draw up to 350 or so unless it is certified
