hey i really need help asap.

I wanna buy this gfx card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127430

but it requires2 6 pin connectors. first off I looked in my case and found only one 4 pin. is their like a splitter to goto two 6 pins? because i dont know what todo.

I think I have an extra 4 pin in my case but its way in the front and theirs no way it would be able to reach the gfx card. help :/

also this is my PSU

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspag [...] 6141490850

it says 2 6 pin connectors but I couldnt find them. would I already be using them? (im only running an 8500GT) or are they just tucked away somewhere in my case?

They are tucked away in the case somewhere, unless they have been cut off!
Obviously, go looking for them with the computer turned off and the mains lead removed.
