Check the specific model that you're looking at to know for sure what connectors you need. Mine needed one 6 pin. Power supplies that aren't too old often come with at least one 6 pin connector. It isn't unusual for the video card to come with a molex->6 pin adapter (but it isn't guaranteed). You would need that adapter if your power supply does not have the necessary 6 pin connector. You should also be sure that your power supply is good enough to handle the video card. What's the model for your power supply?

The PSU should have this cable with 6-pin connector (besides motherboard connector, SATA connectors and MOLEX). Most of them have at least two cables, so you should be covered, although most 7850 cards need only one cable of this kind. What is the model of your PSU and of the desired video card?

Be careful. If video card is "OC" version, then it requires 2 x 6PIN connectors, but the CM Thunder 500W only has 1 connector. However, Saphire includes two 4pin to 6pin adapters, so you should still be fine.

Not entirely true I have the oc version @900mhz base clock 1 6 pin only.

Go here and check the system requirements. Note that this is the OC version, not regular one, which only has 1 connector.

Odd all the same specs as I have but it requires an extra 75 watts for the extra GB of ram very odd.
