Hey guys, haven't posted in a while and am in needed of advice. I'm still using my older(okay old) Thermaltake 480 wat power supply that i got from 2004 . by the way my current setup is
1)Foxconn A74MX-K AM2+/AM2 AMD 740G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
2)AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor
3) 4 gig ram
4)MSI R6670-MD1GD5 Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1
5) 500 gig sata hard drive and 80 gig IDE hard drive
6) Thermaltake Silent Purepower W0014RU 480W ATX12V Active PFC PSU

Old power supply, I know but I've been getting all i can out of it. Can't believe i've been able to use an 8 year old power supply. As of right now the only other video card that doesn't need a 6 pin connector is Radeon hd 7750. I need to upgrade my video card a bit to help with 3d gameplaye for the minor games i play. But since i have no 6 pin connector it seems I'm stuck at the ASUS EAH6670/DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 that Im thinking about buying. Here's the link.

It doesn't require a 6 pin connector. Now I know there are some other video cards that can run with a 480 watt psu, LIke the radeon hd 6770(needs 450 watt) and the radeon 7770( some need 400 wats like this one

and others 450) but they all require a 6 pin connection.
I know i can buy a 6 pin adapter but is that something i can try for my current power supply?? I'm trying to put off buying a new psu till later next year and am trying to push it further to last.
So, should i just stick with the 7750 with no 6 pin connector needed or could i try to use a 6 pin connector adapter for my current psu??
Buy the way, i have to stick with AMD cause i'm using my projector AMD HD3D
