Hey Guys.
I recently picked up a XFX Radeon 280x 3gb.
It's a beast of a card and its bloody massive.
I'm not very experienced with computer hardware i just know the gist of things.
I removed my extremely old school Radeon HD 6570 that doesn't even require a power source to it.
And i placed in this beautiful card, It could barely fit in my case.
It came with 2 black cables to power it but they don't reach my PSU and they also don't connect to anything I have in there.
Can my PSU even give this thing power? Do I just need to pick up 2 extra cords ?
Or do I need an entirely new PSU.
It's a 600W OCZ ModXStream Pro

Any feedback would be great cheers! Zac.
You see 3 of the black ports are taken to power my hard drives and cd player, however there is nothing plugged into the red ports, what are they for?
