Yes it will work. 4 6+2 pins means that you have 4 cables and each has a 6 pin power connector along with an additional 2 pin power connector for 8 pin requirements. It's 6+2 because some graphics cards requires 6 pin power connectors, and some need 8. So instead of putting 2 cables of 6 pins, and 2 cables of 8 pins, they made it 6 pins plus an additional 2 pin for 8 pin requirements, like the R9 280x.

Hope it's all clear now.

Yes, that PSU should power that card with plenty to spare. Some GPUs only require a six pin connector, so they split the 8 pin connector into 6+2. It can be uses as a 6 or 8 pin. Looks like this.

So, your PSU has four 8 pin connectors.
