Hi, my system is:

i5 2500k
radeon 6850 hd
8gb ram
OCZ500SXS2 power supply

I want to upgrade my graphics card to a radeon 7950, but my power supply only has one 6 pin connection( I think? )and the card needs 2, but the power output is strong enough to support the recommended power supply for the 7950 card ( which is 500W like my power supply) , So I'm wondering if an adapter would be alright to use? Because I don't really want to spend more money on a new power supply, thank you.
