This is a very noob question but bear with me. I'm planning to buy a graphics card for my PC to replace the intergrated "chipset". It's probably going to be a Radeon HD 6570. Since that has a requirement of 400W of power I need to replace my 320W PSU. This raises some questions about connectivity. This is the model I've been looking at: http://products.xfxforce.com/en-gb/Power_Supply/Pro_Series_450W_PSU/P1-450S-X2B9
It's connections are listed as
1 x 20+4-pin ATX
1 x 4+4-pin ATX 12V/EPS 12V
1 x 6+2-pin PCIe
6 x 15-pin SATA
3 x 4-pin molex
1 x 4-pin FDD
My current PSU is connected to the motherboard only via 3 separate connectors, of which I've drawn an artistic rendition:
The circles represent "holes" on the connector. The crossed over circle means there is a hole, but no wire goes through it, thus an empty hole.
The graphics card I'm buying is to be connected to the PSU via a "six pin" connector, which I suppose is similar to the one pictured left. More info about the card here:

This brings me to the question, will the PSU have the proper connectors for both the motherboard and the graphics card? THANKS for your time.
