GeForce GTX 260 Compatibility

I want to get the GTX 260 video card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130433

My question is, it says it requires 2 6-pin HDD power dongles. What are those? Secondly, will it work fine with this PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139009

I don't see anything on this about HDD power dongles, and I'm always nervous when I read that a video card requires 2 cords, lol.

Re: GeForce GTX 260 Compatibility

Yes, the TX850 has four 8pin pci-e connectors. They're in a 6+2 configuration, just slide off the 2 and you're left with a 6 pin for your GTX 260.
