Hey guys so I bought this kit from tiger direct
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7328068
I also used my friends old 5770 along with that kit... Problem was no 6 pin connector so I had to buy this

NOW I have all the right drivers and whatever but I am dipping to under 20 FPS every 5 seconds on Tf2 5 vs 5 BOTS!!!
Is it a power issue based on the links I showed? Is it the adapter? Would this adapter be better

Last question if I could exchange this card for a GTS 250 woudl that take up less power overall?? I know its worse but I have no need for maxing games out I just want the simple stuff to work!!
