what kind of PSU do you have? Yes you defiantly need the 6-pin attached

Just get a cable that attaches to a molar connector and converts to a 6 pin connector. If you don't have an unused one get a splitter.

I would replace the poor power supply.

+1. A PSU that doesn't come with a 6-pin connector probably isn't up to the job of powering this card. It may work initially, but you would probably get unexplained crashes or other weird behaviour.

No you need a new PSU , a 500w power supply without a 6 pin power has to be very poor.

Are you saying the CX model line is worth recommending now? I had heard their 2nd iteration was better than the first, but wasn't sure where exactly that put it quality wise. CX is higher quality than the seasonic eco line you had suggested?

For what he's running it's more than sufficient.

He might be on a budget and the CX500 is way better than what he has.
