I bought my custom computer from a friend so I don't really know how to build them. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to install the GTX 680 I recently ordered. The cables are all in sleeves but my 480 has 2 6 pin connectors plugged into it already (I think), which should be the same things that are required for the 680. Do I just take my graphics card out, plug the new one in, and put those 2 6 pin connectors into the new one?
Here is what my 480 looks like

And does that little black thing sticking out do anything? It looks like it just has 2 holes, and it's coming out of one of the 6 pin adapters it looks like.
Also, my motherboard is apparently a pci 2.0, will that work with the 680?
