And I was looking at this card because I'm just looking to expand the number of games I can play on my PC, graphics aren't my biggest concern. Does this look good? http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814202197&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-Advanced%20Micro%20Devices-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=5257136&SID=ShopAMD |
From the looks of the specs and of the picture on that PSU, it only has a single 6-pin that you can use. There are two but the second one is not on the proper rail so it might not work correctly, at least that is what the descriptions lead me to believe. Don't worry though it is a minor mistake and can happen to anyone, especially if you are new to PC hardware.
I would suggest returning it right away using the cheapest option for return you can find. Shipping shold only be about 5 bucks or so.
Once returned pick up one of these: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Continuous-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU
It's a few bucks cheaper than what you paid and should help make up the shipping cost difference a bit.
As for the card you selected, it will work but I think you will be dissapointed at how games run on it. It is damned cheap though, I'll give you that. The next best card, the Nvidia GTX 960 , the cheapest I can find is $169: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600537575&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=30
