You're going to need;
A) 2 miles of No.00 wire.
B) SpreadNok cable clamps
C) A pair of Klines
D) 2 rolls of black plastic electrical tape
OR,
your Power Supply needs a 6-pin PCI Express power cable,
http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#pciexpressPlug it into the Top/Back of the graphics card.

Your PCI-Express x16 slot can deliver up to 75 Watts of power.
The 6-pin PCI Express power cable, can deliver up to 75 Watts of power.
Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply is needed.
Looking back at the Playtool link, and the 6-pin PCI Express power cable;
Note the 6-pin PCI Express adapter power cable, shown on the right.
THIS, is what you use if your Power Supply, does NOT have a 6-pin PCI Express power cable.
TWO 4-pin Peripheral power cables plug into it.
http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#peripheralI say again...............TWO 4-pin Peripheral power cables plug into it.
DO NOT use just one.
I don't care, if that is all the 4-pin Peripheral power cables that were left.
If you use just one 4-pin Peripheral power cable, you will;
A) Burn the gold plated contact pins on the bottom of the graphics card.
B) Burn the contact pins down in the bottom of the PCI-Express x16 slot.
C) Burn the plug connector end on the 6-pin PCI Express adapter power cable.
D) Burn the contact pins on the graphics card, that the 6-pin PCI Express power cable plugs onto.
Happen right away?
Nope.
Down the road a little after you have forgotten all about it.
("Hmmm, what's that smell? Smells kinda' like burnt wiring.
Wow, my monitor screen just went blank."

"Nvidia GeForce GTX650 graphics card buried today, along with a motherboard.
Owner cited for neglect, pain and suffering.
Plea bargained to do better in the future" )
Not having a 6-pin PCI Express power cable on your Power Supply, suggests it is a low quality unit, and is underpowered for that graphics card.
Want to burn up a graphics card, just under power it.
[ 4-pin Peripheral power cable;
Also misnomered as a 'Molex' power cable.
Molex was the first company to produce that design of power cable CONNECTOR.
(I don't think they designed it, just manufactured it; if memory serves)
Name stuck. Kinda' of like calling an open-end wrench a 'Crescent wrench' ]
