Hello,
I wanted to include a Sapphire Radeon R7 265 2GB GDDR5 DVI-I / DVI-D / HDMI / DP Dual-X PCI-Express Graphics Card in my new build however, it requires extra power from a 1x6 pin connector.
What is a 1x6 pin connector and where does it plug in? From the power supply to the GPU or pose supply to motherboard. Could you recommend a cheap motherboard that supports this?

Oh I also have an Antec PSU. They usually have labels on the end of the connector and you should see PCI-e on it or something. Just plug it into the 1x6 pins. If you need to merge 2 connectors, just press them together on the end of the connectors side by side until you hear a snap.
