Hi i am looking for a new graphics card but my power supply doesn't have a 6-pin what is the best card to get in my situation?

A HD7750 can handle most modern games on "decent" (e.g. Medium-High, without AA) settings up to 1920x1080. If the game itself is good, it will be enjoyable. Older games can be maxed, possibly without AA. Sure, most people prefer more, but without a PSU upgrade that's a solid choice.
Well you could use an adapter to change a 4 pin molex connector to a 6 pin PCI-E power connector. Usually power supplies that do not have a power connector for a video card are junk though from my experience, so I wouldn't try anything too powerful. Maybe a HD7850/GTX760 at most. Just to be safe you could drop down one step lower to a HD7770 or GTX650ti boost.

I would say none worth it... The 7750 is just a lousy gpu on its own and you really cant do much with it. I would go by what your psu is rated at the 12v+ side and get a molex to 6-pin converter.

I would think a low end power supply should power a 7790 and thats what id go for a low budget system and possibly a 7850 if your rating is decent. It'll get you threw most games with a 720p and some older at 1080p at decent settings.

By the way.. i have a 7850 i'll be posting on ebay soon. Sapphiretech 7850 OC. Just upgraded to a GTX 770
