Upgrading my Graphics card but the newer one takes 2 PCI Express cables.
PSU only supplies one PCI cable.I have an adapter but the middle bottom connection of the 6 does not have a wire in it.
Cable from PSU has 6 wires in the connector.Is the adapter ok to use or does it need ALL 6 wires in it?
Adapter is 2x4pin molex (with 3 wires,yellow,black and red) into 6pin PCI Express.

If your power supply doesn't have the necessary connectors then chances are it won't get the job done. However, we can't say for sure because you didn't post your power supply model number. Need the exact model of your power supply and the same for the graphics card.

That is not an exact model number. Is the link below your PSU? If so, it says you have 2 PCIe connectors.

Pretty sure it should be able to handle the ATI?

Get one of these to adapt molex connectors to what you need. http://www.xpcgear.com/6pinpciexpre...
