Updating Graphics Card

I recently asked about an upgrade for a Graphics Card for my system (Specs at bottom). Someone referred this card to me.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-173-_-Product

My only issue is, I seem to have lost some of the extra cables from my PSU (All the cables were seperate except the main one and you had to plug them into the PSU then into the device). I have an 8-Pin connector and 3 4-Pin Molex(?) connectors available. Although one of the 4-pins are black instead of white, not sure that makes any difference. When I looked through the card on Newegg it says it needs 2 6-pin connectors (of course those are the ones I am missing) and the picture shows that it comes with two converters that take 2x 4-pin Molexs and make them into a single 6-pin PCI plug. I could really use some help as I am not very good with what goes with what and I am in need of a new card after this last graphics update.

PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty 550w
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD4550
Processor: AMD Athlon II x2 240 Processor 2.80 GHz
Motherboard: ASUS M3A76-CM
RAM: 4GB

I will be checking back frequently in case someone needs any clarification.

Thanks

Also I did find this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812706024 will that work for one of the 6-pin requirements? And then use the 2x 4-pin -> 6-pin converter for the other?
