You could try to use the molex to 6pin converter. Test the card at stock with Furmark to ensure it's running correctly.

Hmm, Powerup? That is not a reliable brand.

I don't know if your Power supply will be able to run a 4890. You could try it but if your PSU blows it could take your entire rig with it.
You can try it and if it doesnt work you can buy a better one.

Yes, But with a Powersupply there are also Amps on the 12V rails.
The 4890 recommends 32 Amps on your 12 volt rails. And you have exactly 32 Amps so, it should run but I wouldn't expect that Power supply to last too long with heavy gaming.
