you can get a plug that takes 2 4 pin plugs and converts it to the pci-e 6 pin plug.. you will have to use 2 4 pin plugs to work the card .. you plug the 4 pins into the adapter and then plug it into your card .. you might have to unhook one of your cd drives .. I would think you would have a few spare 4 pin plugs from your power supply though... ??

6-Pin Power Adapter Cable for PCI-Express Video Cards (In Stock Now!)

i'm sure you could find one of these from a local best buy or pc store...

4 to 4 Pin Y Power Cable/ Splitter

you can always use these to add extra 4 pin plugs from your power supply.. but it depends on your power supply WATTAGE .. how many watts your psu is and if it can handle powering all your pc components and your video card...
