Hello, Forum.

I recently bought my first graphics card, an MSI GTX 950. I have it completely installed, except for one problem. I started up my PC and it told me I need to connect my GPU to a power supply. via PCIe cable. I checked else where on the forums but no other posts seems to fit my questions. Now, my knowledge of PC building is very limited. The only type of upgrade I have ever done is this graphics card, I am not even at amateur level when it comes to this kind of thing. I kind of know what to do, I located my PCIe port, that connects to the power supply. However it's a 4 pin, and my graphics card requires a 6 pin. How do I go about that? Are there 4 pin to 6 pin converters? Must I buy a whole new power supply? I tried looking up converters for this piece on google, but none of them seem to match.

This is the piece that connects into my motherboard. I'm not even sure if that's a part of getting my graphics card going, I just noticed they look similar.

Also, this is my power supply. I have a switch that converts in from 115, to 230.

EDIT: I'm running on an AMD 760G motherboard.
 
the 4 pin is for the CPU power.

Pci-e 6 pin cable looks like this

Should be one coming out of your PSU, which you plug in directly to the graphics card.
 


See, I don't think I have that coming out of my PSU.
I have this mess of cords that I've never messed with.

And this is all of which is coming from my PSU.

Do you have a few recommendations of a PSU to buy? I really know very little about them.
