  For the PCI X16, connect to your motherboard via the exhisting cables from the HD2400. (which too, uses a PCI express X16).

  Search arnd your Mobo/ and if your Hd2400 does have these plugs.

  Your Package should come with the plugs. 

  

  This is the visiontek package. - and many other packages, i have seen comes with the power connector

  ya, any computer shops should sell them too.

  

  connect the 2 white sections to your motherboard. There should be 2 "plugs"  for @ your mobo

  PCI 6 pin power plug.

  Just tell them you got this Graphics card, then they should understand.

  first, check what power plug your desktop has.
  Some of them is from 2 pin to 6pin and some 4pin to 6pin.
