Will the card work fine leaving out 2 pins? I don't want to buy a new PSU since im almost out of cash. Are there any other solution for this problem if leaving out 2 pins wont work? (adapters for example)

If the PSU doesn't have 2 6-pin connectors that certainly means it can't deliver the specified power. Dont' try to plug the 4-pin into the GPU, the pin arrangement is different. Even if you could, that would leave your CPU with no power!

You MIGHT be able to power the 7950 if the PSU is powerful enough, using molex-to-6pin adapter but i highly doubt it will work.

Found an old adapter in my cable box. Plugged it in. And it worked. Thanks for your assistance.
