Welp, recently bit the bullet to get a little more ass out of my computer. Bought a geforce gtx 460 that requires two 6 pin connectors. Didn't realize this until it came in the mail today. So After searching on the web for awhile went to staples and bought a Antec 550w basiq. It says it has a 6+2 connect and then 1 6 pin connector on the box. After getting home and plugging everything up i still don't have video. The pc boots, gets to windows.. because you can hear the "windows vista theme" and sits there with no video. I have a pretty good feeling i know what the problem is but want your guys input.
So one side of my 6 pin has all 6 holes filled in, while the other side is only using four. My other 6 pin connect the one that is 6+2 has all 6 holes filled in. Is it because the one side isn't grounded?
Here's a pic to illustrate
