PCI-E Power connector for graphics card

Dec 19th, 2006

Hello
I have bought a barebones pc fpr christmas but am not aloud it until christmas. It comes with Intel E6600 Core2Duo Heatsink and Fan, 1024mb DDR2 667 Ram, MSI Intel 975X PCI Express Motherboard. so I purchased a graphics card but am now wondering will the power suply in my pc have the 6 pin connector for the pci-e graphics card?

Now if there is no 6 pin power connector I am able to buy a 4 pin to 6 pin converter yet I have seen 2 kinds , There is 4 pin to 6 pin , then there is 2x4 pin to 1x 6 pin. which will i need? also for the 2x 4 pin connector will i need to connect both or just one?

I am sorry this is a bit confusing but will be very greatful for any help .
thanks
