usually there are 6 pin connectors on new power supplies but if not there might be a chance that the graphics card might be bundled with 4 pin legacy connector to 6 pin.just check which kind of power supply you are getting as you shouldn't skimp on a psu. there is a guide of which power supply to get here: http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f76/up...-guide-137927/

if that's the case then yes just use the 4 pin molex power connectors with the cable that came to convert 6 pin to 4 pin which is good especially when your power supply doesn't have it.
