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

Not advised to do... What kind of PSU do you have?

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.
