So i need a PSU for my system and 400 watt unit will be enough, but GTX 960 needs a 6 Pin connector that the unit i chose (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505153186&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+400w) doesn't specify.

don't ever think to buy that shitty evga psu it will kill ur hardware

Please, do not get an EVGA N1 series PSU, they're not good. 

 

I would strongly advise spending $15 more or so and getting something that's good quality. 

 

If you're okay with MIRs, you can get a CX550 for $30 ($50 - $20 MIR). https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139202&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

If not, you can get a CX450 for $40 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTZ96RU/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1

 

EDIT: As for the 400W N1, it comes with 1x 8 pin PCIe cable (6+2 pin) and 1x 6 pin PCIe. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-N1-0400-L1

That PSU is a bad idea in a box. Don't buy it. A Corsair CX450/M isn't expensive and would do fine for your GTX 960.

A system with an i5 and 960 just might break 200W under load.

I agree with most of the posts here. DO NOT BUY a cheap EVGA. Several different manufacturers make the different EVGA power supply lines. The upper end EVGA PSU's are great. I have a number of G and P series PSU's and they are fantastic. Other than those I would look at a good Corsair or Seasonic PSU with an 80 Plus rating - I would go gold or platinum. You can buy those in a lower wattage model starting around $60.

Your PSU is probably the most important thing in your case to not cheap out on. A bad power supply can nuke everything else you spent money on. Just don't do it.
