PCI E Compatible: 6 pin?

I was thinking about buying this 8800 GT but then I noticed it has a
6pin PCI-E Power Connection

I have a 7600 GT for my PCI E slot and didnt need a special power connector for it, just slide it in the slot and good to go.

Now I wanna upgrade to something like this 8800 GT but I am not sure I can, do I need a special power connection for it?

And just in case, here is the MOBO:

Thanks so much for all your help

You need to have the 6 pin connector from you PSU to connect to this and many other higher-powered GPUs.

If your PSU doesn't have one of these connectors, you're out of luck. The power provided through the motherboard isn't enough to use one.

You can get a pretty quality PSU with for a decent price if you look around and don't mind dealing with rebates.

Sorry man. Good luck if you do want to get one and get a PSU too.

it looks like it might actually come with one of those in the package:



is that the same type of thing there?

i did link my power supply and mobo, but when i look at the specs on newegg i cant seem to find anything concerning this, is there a way to tell from the specs there if i have 1 ?
