Built my PC 6 months ago and recently ordered a new GTX 760 to replace my pathetic GT 610
I like many other newbies overlooked the importance of the power supply and bought a Thermaltake 430 watt PSU for 30 bucks, The problem is that my PSU only has one 6 pin power connector and the GTX 760 requires an 8 pin AND a 6 pin connector. But in the gpu box evga included a 6 pin power connector that joins two Molex adapters into one 6 pin, so I would have TWO 6pin adapters, 2 pins under the required amount, ive read that this works,any ideas? I really dont want to buy a new power supply after spending 250$ Please HELP!
This is the one PCI-E 6 pin connector that came with the PSU
Molex Adapters
PSU
PCI 8 pin that is already in use
