Does my PSU have a 1x6 Pin Connector?

So hello people...I'm going to buy a new graphics card (The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 550) at the time around christmas. Well now as I'm still a newbie at computer parts I know that my PC is compatible with the graphics card, except the Power Supply. I don't know what brand it is, only the model (maybe). It's writen on the PSU SL-500K in a blue, big font.
Can anyone answer to my question - Does my PSU have a 1x6 Pin Connector or not?
How can I find out if it has one?
 
google didnt help with the info you provided but I think its a 500watter based on the 500 in the number you listed it should have at least one 6pin if not the card should come with an adapter you can put on your molex power to use.
 
If it's an Inter-Tech SL-500

then I think that you don't have a 6pin. A two-molex-to-6pin connector would be necessary for that GTX550, and although your PSU isn't that great, you might be ok with it after all, especially if you don't have a hugely power hungry build.

I have a SL-500K not a SL-500 btw.
So if it says MAX 480 at the PSU...so it will work with the graphics card if it is 500w?
 
480 should be more than enough for such a card and a normal non-o/ced build. The question is how many of those "480" are up for the job, in those "noname" PSUs.

There have been cases, that "650W" noname PSUs were toasted on 500watt on load testing. Even if your psu can handle your system (which I feel would be the case) you might want to add a decent PSU in your wishlist ;)
