HD 4870 Connection to Power Supply Question. Need Help ASAP!

Ok I am a bit confused. On my HD 4870 there are two black connection points. 6 pin i think? Anyways, with the Vid card there are two "Y" cables, each has a connection point that fits with the video card

Thing is, my power supply has two cables coming out of it labled PCI-E. 6pin + 2 sound right? If I use the "Y" cables, I can not see where they would plug into the PS, ugh I dunno. Any advice?

The "Y-cables" are for people who don't have enough PCIe connectors.

Plus you usually don't want to use them.

ok so do i use both PCI e cables from the PS on the card or just 1 and do i use all 8 pins or just 6?EmmaBug03

Yes use both pci-e cables from the psu, and 6 pin as the HD4870 doesn't use 8 pin IIRC.
