So im about to buy a new videocard, the XFX HD 7950. I've got a cooler master b500 power supply. Will it work? does the power supply have enough connectors? Or can it work with only 8 pins? or should i buy a 2x molex > 1x 6-Pin PCIe connector?

Thanks!

Your PSU should be fine to run single HD 7950, single HD 7950 requires 500W or greater PSU with 30 amps on 12v rail and your PSU has 50 amps on combined 12v rail and has two 6+2 PCI-E connectors to run HD 7950!
You should be fine!
