Hello I am new to Tomshardware (or at least with an account anyway) but I was just wondering if i could use a molex connector or two and combine them together with something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812887002
I would be using this to play games on a higher video card which requires 8 pin connectors... I was thinking about getting maybe a Fermi product or some other high end video card soon, so I was just wondering if this type of connection would be reliable and supply the correct amount needed...
BTW i have an 850W Rosewill power supply

It has 4 6 pins, no 8 pins (So a 6 pin converter could work as well if theres such a thing, I'm only looking to use one video card)
Hmm... and extra info i guess for ideas on power consumption:
Running 4 gbs Patriot 1333 Mhz
Phenom II x4 965
Radeon 4890
2 HDs, 320gb and 500gb 7200 rpm
and a cd/dvd rom
