XPS 410 GPU Upgrade Question?

Kind of a noob question. I am getting a new GPU for my XPS 410 that I bought back last December. I was looking in the $200ish range since I am trying to save up for parts for a new gaming rig I want to put together, and don't want to break the bank. I do however want something that can keep up with todays games until I put my new rig together. I was thinking about this: EVGA 512-P2-N773-AR GeForce 8600GTS 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card. I was wondering if I can install this puppy without having to mess around with acquiring extra power connections and jazz. I've recently looked inside when installing a RAM upgrade, but TBH I am not 100% sure what I should be looking for in that regard. I know what slot type it goes into. In it's system reqs it says it needs one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors or Two 4-pin Molex supplementary power connectors, and I'm not sure if either of those are there. Any advise would be appreciated!

The XPS 410 has both types of connectors on the standard PSU. Take a look at your manual and it should show this. I just looked it up in the online service manual. You should kave no problems other than looking around in the case till you find where the cable is currently stashed.
