Installing a New Graphics Card

Hi Everyone!

So a friend gave me a graphics card yesterday. It is a PowerColor Red Devil Radeon™ RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6∣PowerColor.

I took my old graphics card out today and was trying to install the other (slot it in.) Seems my new graphics card had a thing sticking out to the right of the PCIe connector which was hitting this little plastic clip thing and stopping it slotting in. I inadvertently broke that plastic thing inside my computer off (luckily not damaged I don't think.) Afterwards, it seems the new graphics card fits securely and locks into place with that clip now out the way. The trouble I'm having now though is, this new graphics has 2 sets of 8 pin connections and the cable inside my comp only has 2 connectors, 2 x 8 and 2 pin one's. Is this graphics card not compatible with my computer then?

Also if I turn my computer round, on the other side there are loads of cables stuffed inside, I pulled all of them out and don't see what looks like a graphics card connector but one kinda does, is it possible there's another connector for it in there?

Thanks!

Get the model number of power supply you have so we verify if it has a other 8 pin cable.
