well dont focus on the pins...you can buy extras. if your supply is less than 600w, i dont reccomend it it probably takes 400-500 on its own, never mind, mboard,cpu ram etc. id get another power supply, or get a more "power efficient" card. my 8800gt takes like, 350.
The performance between the 4890 and GTX 280 is somewhat close (GTX 280 still wins), but that doesn't justify the $70 price difference. I would go with the 4890.
THE XFX4870 1GB WILL WORK FINE WITH YOUR PSU AS IT NEEDS 2X6-PINS AND THE PSU HAVE THEM.IF YOU WANT BFG GTX 280 OC YOU SHOULD FIND A PSU THAT GIVES THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF AMPERES IN THE 12 V RAIL.YOUR PSU GIVES 18 A IN EACH 12V IN A COMBINED AMOUNT OF 36 A IN THE 12V.FOR THE GTX280 IS RECOMMENDED 42 A MINIMUM.

How can you know so much about computers but not know how to use caps lock? :P
I hate when people think a card takes like 300watts. a card takes like 70-100, max. (http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/7972-evga-geforce-gtx-280-1gb-superclocked-review-19.html). look for some whole system benchmarks, and you'll find that a full i7 system takes like 400w at peak. Your psu is fine.
