it should come with an adapted. if it didnt, then you can buy them off alot of websites. i think mine came with one

Either the card or the PSU probably came with the 4-pin peripheral connector to 6-pin PCI Express connector. Look at this:

Make sure your PSU can handle the new card, if it didn't come with a PCI express connector, it might not have enough power.
