Does this card require a 6-pin connection?

I'm interested in This Card and was wondering if it required a 6-pin connector. I can't see anywhere on the page that specifies as such, but I don't want to buy anything that I can't use. Thanks in advance.
 
By the way this card...

...does not require a seperate power connector either.

It will give a nice bump in performance and can be overclocked quite considerabley should you be inclined. It's DX12 too. (I have one of these on my other build.)

Although it does take up 2 pci slots - but you seem to have enough slots spare in your case.

You could even swap-out your PSU for something more powerful (that also has seperate PCIe power connectors) and get a GTX 960 or similar if your budget will stretch.

Yeah thats part of my problem. I believe - I say believe, because I forgot to check when I got home late last night - That my PCIe 2.0 x16 is only a single slot away from my PCIe 2.0x1.
 


Ah, so I assume that you are using (or planning on using) that PCIe x1 slot?

Yeah, I have a 5ghz Wireless Card inserted into it currently, so I need something comparable to my GT 730 in size to fit into the 2.0 x16 slot. Lest I use the 3rd slot which is just a typical PCI slot.
