Hello, I just purchased the MSI 950 with the EVGA 430 Watt PSU. However, when I look everywhere online, people our saying I need a 6-pin connector for my graphics card. What is it? Where can I find one/ And how do I connect it? Thanks for help! Cheers from LA!

It is on the GPU card, a six pin adapter to plug in the cable from the PSU to power the card. Without it the card probably won't work. If your PSU does not come with a 6 pin adapter you will have to find an adapter to plug it in from another cable.

EVGA 430W has a 6+2 Pin , you just leave the 2 part hanging out plug in the six.

PCI-Express Connector
1 x 6+2-Pin

6 pin , minus the 2 pin , which will be hanging out goes in the yellow square , where card power is.
