This is the graphics card that i want to buy, But i would also need a new power supply with it. And one of my friends said that this graphics card will require 2 6pin to work properly. Is this true? If it is what power supply should i buy? (under 50 pounds)

Golden rule with PSU's is you get what you pay for. You pay peanuts and you'll get a piece of junk.

This is a quality PSU: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w...f-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-fan-at

Things to look for when buying a PSU:

80Plus Certification
Efficiency
Reviews
Brand Reputation
ATX Specification (newer is better)

So will the graphics card require 2 6pins?

 

[linkin]

Yes, and the PSU I linked has adequate connections for that.

 

[Kefrox29]

But i think its too much, is it possible to find any cheaper ones with 2 6pins?
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w...0auba-80-plus-sli-crossfire-quiet-fan-atx-v22 is this one fine? And the psu that i hae at the moment, is mounted on top of the case, is that fine?

As Linkin said you get what you pay for... The difference is £12 and while the one you linked does have the 2 6 pins you would need, the brand doesn't have anything like the reputation of the XFX PSU that was linked before.

In my opinion, you'd be far better getting the slightly more expensive one, because in the long run it will probably save you lots of headaches with parts going wrong etc...

As above, if it's not Antec, Corsair, Silverstone, XFX, Seasonic and a few others, it's not worth buying.

reason being...you could spend less...and have the bugger explode on you, and take out everything...is that worth saving 12 pounds over?
