friends!! i am in dilemma plz sort it out.
here is my system specs
amd phenomii x4 980
cosair 4 gb ram
hd 6670 1 gb ddr5
cooler master extreme power plus 500w

now i want to upgrade my gpu to gtx 560 ( i am already having this gpu). the specification of this gpu says that it requires minimum of 450 W power supply @ 12 V+ 24 A. the problem is my psu is dual rail @12V+18A and with one 6 pin pci e connector. however gtx 560 requires 2x 6 pin pcie connector. i can make up another 6 pin pcie connector with dual 4 in molex to 6 pin pcie adapter.
but my doubt is will this power supply will be sufficient for this card and my card will be safe under full load.
( i know this power supply is crappy one but i can not upgrade it right now)
help me guys what should i do now?

A GeForce GTX 560 needs at leas 24 amps on the 12v rail and a 450 watt power supply and 2 - 6 pin power connections.

The Cooler master extreme power plus 500 watt has 2 - 18 amp rails but only one 6 pin power connection.

It should be able to run it with an additional molex power connection.

It's a poor supply so upgrade when possible.
