Hi everyone, I'm new to graphic card so i dont really know much about it.

I am planning to get this pc:

POWER SUPPLY: 500W PSU - 8CM Quiet Fan

NEW AMD CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-6 Core 6100 3.30Ghz (3.9Ghz Turbo)

AMD BOARD: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Featuring AMD 760 Chipset

CPU COOLING: HEATSINK/FAN FOR CPU INCLUDED TO COVER OVERCLOCK IF APPLICABLE

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz - PATRIOT VIPER V3 RED Performance/Gaming RAM

MASTER HARD DRIVE: 1TB (1000GB) SATA3 - 6Gb/s, 7200 RPM & 32MB Cache

MASTER OPTICAL DRIVE.: SONY 24X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer & Dual Format

My friend gave me a ATI RADEON HD 4890, but I'm not sure if its compatible with the pc which I'm going to buy.

As long as your PSU meets the requirements listed here (http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-4000/hd-4890/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-4890-system-requirements.aspx) and it physically fits, you'll be fine.

Good luck!

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)

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?
