Optiplex 9020 GPU and HDD

I have a 9020 Mt desktop. I bought a xfx Rx 560 graphics card and a second hard drive. The video card needs a 6 pin plug. Where do I get that at?  It says it's rated at 75w so the stock PSU should handle it right?

I also need to buy the mounting brackets for the second HDD. Where can I buy those?

Can I buy any of this on Amazon? I have prime.

some video card maker adds a 6 pin PCIe connector to the card because of factory overclock or other frills.  you need to upgrade Dell 9020 psu to have the needed 6 pin.  your options include Dell XE2 MT 365 W psu (DP/N 7VK45 T1M43 HU365EM-00 D365EM-00) which has the 6 pin and is natively compatible with 9020 MT, or aftermarket 24/4 pin ATX psu plus a 24 to 8 pin adapter.  the XE2 MT psu is an easier option while the aftermarket 400w psu from evga etc. may be of higher quality and less expensive (albeit more messy cable management).

One other thing. If I buy a new PSU will any of the work with the mobo? I know I will need a 24 to 8pin adapter. 

 

What do you guys recommend? Sorry to write twice in the same thread
