Oh shoot ! SorryThe 7950 GT will fit and work with the power supply. You will need a 6 pin power cable. 8600 GTS will work also but will also need a 6 pin connectore that some cards do include and some do not....6 pin molex connector, which eliminates the need to connect two 4 pin power connectors and only need to connect one.

Or…..
A link to an adaptor to convert those unused SATA connectors on your PSU to the 4-pin Molex connector instead.

For the 6pin thing.
Here are 2 pictures of the only 6pin that I have coming from my power supply.
The question is will I be able to simply plug in the other 6pin cable that comes with the graphic card, into the one in this picture, then back to the graphic card successfully?
Heres the pictures

That is not a pci-e connector.Odd I don't find that connector in your psu specs. That looks like a P4 DC power connector. Have you had your power supply unit swapped out?You're looking for a connector like this:Otherwise supplemental power for the new video card will have to be supplied via one of the two methods recommended by SR45.Good LuckDale

Ugh I see
If i were to buy a new power supply, it'd be from best buy or circuit city.
Heres a search I did, would any of those fit and work fine on my computer?

Uh man, I dont know, I can see, depending on the prices.
But I dont have a credit card, I might have to use someone elses.
Maybe if you could link me to what I could buy and how cheap it is, that'd help a lot.441

Is there any chance you could buy the items online (like from Newegg)? Newegg's prices can be so much lower than best Buy/Circuit City/CompUSA - if you don't mind waiting for the components to arrive.
