I'm looking to buy a gtx 460 for my new build but it seems that the card required a power supply with 2 pin connectors, any suggestions?

The GTX 460 requires two 6pin PCIe connectors. Most power supplies capable of handling such a card will have the proper connectors.

GTX 460 should come with at least one adapter for 2 4 pin molex to PCIE as well, so if a good PSU only has one, you can use that.

So I can just use it with this power supply without buying any extra parts?

The CX430 only provides one 6pin PCIe connector so you will need to use the molex to PCIe adapter provided to you by the graphics card. But the power supply only has three molex connectors and the adapter requires two of these molex connectors. So you'll be left with only one molex connector. Case fans also use molex connectors so you'll need to buy molex to header adapters.

Just get the XFX 450 or CX500 V2 if you want to avoid the headache of adapters.

But then, most case fans are pass through molex, so depending on the length, it can work, but it can turn into a cable management nightmare at that point.

So yeah, just go with the others to save yourself pain and suffering.

We do not fear death. We only fear the loss of living this time here. The only life we do know. We are afraid to transcend this Earth, because we know, those who have died no longer live to tell the tale It is the unknown we fear, not death I have noth

If we take you at your word, you don't either, which negates the statement to begin with. Then we can apply circular mobius cylinder logic to it to take it that that makes the statement correct again.

So, do you know what you're talking about, or is your statement incorrect?

tl;dr version: Don't do drugs.
