How do you connect 6 pin power connectors to your motherboard?

[generalramen]

I recently purchased a 560 ti and I realize that in needs two 6 pin connectors inserted for it to work. My motherboard does not have any 6 pin connectors on it so I need to know how to connect a 6 pin connector to my mother board and into my graphics card. Also, will my motherboard be able to support 2 6 pins?
My mother board is a 2nd Gen Intel Core i7-2600 Processor with 8MB L3 cache and 3.4GHz processor.

Thanks for the help!

The 6 pin PCIe power connectors required by graphics cards are connected directly to the power supply, not the motherboard.

Was your pc pre-built or storebought, because if it is most likely your psu doesn't support it, so you would need a new one.

What make/model of power supply does your system have in it?

@ GeneralRamen: Where are you?
It's usually a good idea to get a good powersupply, cheap 'high power' units are usually of poor quality and lack protection, it's not unknown for such a unit to damage the rest of the system when it fails.
Good name: Corsair, Silverstone, Pc Power and Cooling, Antec, Seasonic and FSP.
Look for 500 to 600 Watts with dual 6 pin PCI-E connectors.
One last point, exactly which system do you have? Some small or slimline systems will not accept a standard sized powersupply.

On the side of your power supply will be a label with the information on it.
