I have a(n)

AMD II X6 1100T @ 3.3GHz, stock speed.
8Gigs of 1333MHz RAM.
Aerocool GT Black Edİtion 500W case (PSU inside is AE-VX500)
Asus Crosshair IV Formula
a 5MS 60Hz monitor
1X 100GB SSD
Standard keyboard//mouse


I bought a 6970 2nd hand for a VERY, VERY GOOD price. It's a(n) HiS 6970 but the stock fan was broke so the guy added 2x fans. My 2 questions are:


Is my PSU enough for me to run this system and play games like GTA 5, CS:GO?
Will the GPU fit in my case?

the rule of thumb is if the PSu doesn't have 2x6+2 pin pcie connectors, it should be replaced for one that does,
there are people that will do what you mention use a 4pin connector and convert5 it to an 8pin connector... and some have no issues, many end up in the end run with systems that refuse to display the os on the monitor and have to replace psu anyways.

so according to a wattage calculator your 12v/38A produces 456Watts at best
according to : https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=tr&u=http://www.hepsiburada.com/aerocool-vx-serisi-500w-38a-12v-aktif-pfc-guc-kaynagi-ae-vx500-pm-bd304665&prev=search it only have a single 6pin PCIE connector
according to the HIS HD6970 information I found that video card of yours has the requirements for 1x pcie 6 pin and 1x pcie 6+2 pins to power the video card

so your power supply isn't capable of power the video card
It only has a 1 x 6pin versus card needs to power it, 1x6+1x8 pin PCie connectors

I know that, i'm going to buy a 2x4 Pin to 8 Pin Molex cable when the card arrives. I'm just asking that will it power the system?
