ok guys, ive been wanting to buy this video card:
EVGA 01G-P3-1370-KR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130752
the power connectors required for it are 2 x 6 pins and i recently bought this psu:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 (CMPSU-430CXV2) 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026
which, as you can see, only has 1 x 6 pin connector.my question is, is it possible for me to connect the 1 x 6 pin from my psu to
the video card, and use one of the 6 to 2x4 pin pcie connectors? i know my psu's max power is 430 and the required wattage for the card is 450, but i have heard that the only thing that matters is the 12v rail, which in my psu is 12v+ 28amps= 336watts if im not mistaken, so i think the psu would be able to sustain that card withou any problem. Thank you for reading this, i appreciate it.
