So ik getting a gtx 460 which takes 16 watts max load, I just read a forum talking about how pcie 3.0 pushes out 300 watt, so does that mean I won't need those extra 2 6 pin connectors?

Lol it was a typo I meant 160 lol... 16 watts lol, that's what the specs said max load was 160 and ok I just read a forum saying pcie was 300 watts lol, so I have a spare cable for a pcie but the problem is it only has 4 wires connected to it. It was designed that way, so is having a 6 pin pcie connector with only 4 wires ok?
