Hey guys, looking to upgrade my GPU in my gaming computer and found this "HD 5970 Dual GPU" on craigslist for $250. I'm also looking to mine some cryptocurrencies with it.
However I don't know what PSU to get, the seller says I require at least 650 W, but I'm looking for an 850 W in case I'll need the higher wattage in the future. Can someone reccomend me one that's not breaking the bank too much, hopefully under or around $100?
Also he said I need 1x6 pin connect and 1x(6+2), all the PSU's I've seen only have the 1x(6+2) and no 1x6 -- will this addapter do the job?

I feel like those peripheal connectors won't draw enough power for the GPU...
thanks in advance!
