I just got my 8800gts in, but i cant figure out how to install it because of the 6 pin connector. It came with the cable that has 6 pin connector on one side and 2 white connectors with 3 pins each.

My psu is
Antec 500w
Mobo: msi k9n platinum (non-sli)

Does your psu have a 6pin connector? The ones they ship with it are just in case the power supply doesn't have a pci-e connector.

If your psu don't have a native 6pin pcie connector, plug the 6pin pcie to graphics card, and 4 pin molex connectors to psu's molex plugs.
