Don't go cheap on your PSU, most of the cheap brands can't deliver their rated power (see HERE) and if they fail, they have the potential to damage all your other components. Yes there are ways to get another 6 pin, such as a molex to 6 pin adaptor, but these are only recommended for better PSUs that for what ever reason don't have enough 6 pin connectors.

The EVGA 500 80+ is about the cheapest PSU I'd be somewhat comfortable using, preferably look for the EVGA 500B 80+ Bronze as it's better quality.

With the right equipment, you can hook your genitals up to the living room light switch, but I wouldn't recommend that either.

The PSU is the most important part of a PC. It helps keep your system stable. It helps keep your system safe. It helps keep you from not having a fire. Cheaping out on the PSU is like taking a bottle of unlabeled pills you find at the dump or repairing your car's brakes with duct tape.
