Hello,

Well i just bought a new video card (asus 750Ti) but I didn't check the pins in my current power supplier. So I can't plug the video card to the power supply since the plugs are different.





The video card:



Is there any adapter I can use or should I buy a new Power supply?

Thanks in advance

There is no question that you need to get a better power supply. Don't bother trying to get a molex to 6-pin adapter, they aren't trustworthy and using your current PSU in a manner it wasn't intended to support will only lead to a disaster.

You don't need anything fancy to power that card, here is a perfectly fine PSU for what you need (including having the proper 6-pin connection):


Power Supply: Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $39.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
