Last bits for a gaming pc

Hi all, so I got a new PC set up for gaming (around 750-800$ish). It's mid-grade, and I'm ok with that. But I have a question about the cards.

I'm going to be running this GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133474

I need to know if it can run with this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817822017

The only reason I ask is because The Card is a 6pin plug in, and the PSU is a 6+2 pin. Is the +2 just extra in this case? Or does it need a GPU with 6+2? I already bought the GPU, so really I just need a new PSU. If not this PSU, something in this price range. No more than $50 really. Thanks to all that can help.

To the OP, the original choice is poor as shown above.

Claims to have 92A available right? Adding them all up?

No, it only has 48A and thats for all rails, all voltages, MAX at which point it would turn off.

So out of 92, you have about half. Its also inefficient and pretty rubbish.

The one John suggested has can deliver its 38A on the 12V rail constantly every day for its life for at least 3 years.

But the 650 uses no power. My estimate would be a good low 30's amps on the 12V would be heaps. But if you're planning on upgrading later, Johns suggestion is better.

I would spend my $50 on this -a top quality PSU for $50 that will power your machine with quality reliable power.

Thanks all, not sure what I was thinking. I don't know a whole lot about computers anymore but I'm trying to learn. I bought a $500 HP From best buy and tried to modify it. Big mistake. Got my money back and am having the local house owned people violins me custom gaming rig from scratch ( bless them) will post specs when I get the update from them.
