I'm wondering if I purchased the wrong card for my dell inspiron 620 MT mentioned in previous post of mine the card I purchased is Gigabyte Geforce GTX 750 TI Graphic Card - 5400MHz Memory Clock, 2048MB Memory Size, PCI-E 3.0, GDDR5, Direct X 11.2, OpenGL 4.4, 2048 x 1536 Max Resolution - GV-N75TOC-2GI
Item#: GGG-102335328 | Model#: GV-N75TOC-2GI, is this the wrong card I hooked up my computer after installing and got a message that I needed to connect the PCI e cables , I cant find anything on my Motherboard that has any connectors that would fit the cable
Please help, the cables I am referring to look like they have a small 6 hole socket that plugs into the top of the graphics card and two white ends that contain red, black and yellow wires. I want to get this up and running but cant locate the connections.

I think I may of answered your last post.
Your Dell only has a 300w power supply, the min Psu wattage is about 450w.
The black block you are talking about it on the graphics card is where you must connect from the Psu direct to the card.

The reason why you cannot find it is because the PSU used in the pre built dell system is 300w. basically a cheap low cost Psu.

It does not have a 6 pin Pci-e 12v feed from the psu for a graphics card.
Therefore you have two options buy a new power supply of a higher wattage.

Or you need to buy one of these
Look at the link bellow to a picture of the cable...

You're looking for power cables coming out of your power supply. Chances are the power supply in that old Dell is not going to be able to power that card, even if the connectors are there.
Some cards will require 1 6-pin, some will require 2. While you can certainly buy adapters for molex to 6-pin, I wouldn't recommend chancing it with a nice GPU such as the 750 Ti.

There's a list of reputable brands / models here on Tom's.
