Thanks for the info originally i was going to buy a new psu anyway i already had my eye on a 750w with 4 pci e connectors and a couple 4 pins if im not mistaken i could use a 4pin and 2 to make a 6 right ?

If your power supply allow this, yes.

However if the card comes with those adapters use them. Then later on when funds are right, upgrade the power supply.

Just a quick update i could not decide between the 5850 and the 5870 so i bought the 6870 instead!

I think you're card is supported for the MLAA try it out see if it works they have a list of cards it works on
