I have receive my pc recently and I tried to replace the graphic card, it fits in the case. However, my psu power connector only comes in a 4 pin (4pin fdd) and the graphic cards power connector is a 6pin pci express. Is there any other way to get it connected, like a converter?

there are 4pin molex to pcie adapters, are you sure there are no molex connectors on the psu that you could use?

well from what I can see on my pc, i think there are molex connector (the color is white not black, I'm not sure if color matters).

On the graphic card there are 2 6pin pci express input, the graphic card package includes one 6pin pci express connector. Doesn't the second 6pin pci express input goes through my psu power connector? (as I mentioned before that my power connector is only a 4pin fdd)

Yes, connect the PCIe power adapter cable to a molex connector from your PSU. BTW, what make/model of power supply are you using?

On the PSU should be a label that has the make/model on it. You can use a second PCIe to molex adapter. If your current PSU has no PCIe power connections on it, I suspect it may not meet your power needs.

We need the make/model to confirm.

Other than the label info, I am not sure. The 500CB info refers to some PSUs that Dell uses.

If your PSU doesn't have any PCIe 6-pin or 6+2-pin connectors, that would imply you have an older PSU that may not provide sufficient power to your GPU.

What is your budget for a better PSU?
