Help with graphic card conection

[Dyjon54]

I have a 5850 and it came with two 6 pin to 12v molex connections. The problem is my PSU only has 8 pin pci express connections for the power.

Looks for an adapator or maybe I'm doing something wrong? here is the card and you can see the 6 pins for yourself. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102932&cm_re=5850-_-14-102-932-_-Product

Looking on the site they have ok prices on the Antec Earthwatts PSUs. They are very high quality.

would 500 be enough for a 5850 or a 460 gtx? I'm guessing it would. Just want to make sure.

Yeah, that PSU has 444w on the +12v rails. Both the HD5850 and the GTX 460 max out around 150w under stress testing so there will be more than enough power for the rest of the system even if you give the card a high overclock. If you want a PSU that is capable of SLI/crossfire for those cards I believe the 650w is $10 more.

500 it is. oh and I went with this card instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121390&cm_re=Asus_460_gtx-_-14-121-390-_-Product

Not as fast as the HD5850 but that card has nice cooling and can overclock a ton which should help it make up the difference.
