Hi there, I'm getting a Saphhire HD 7950 3GB OC with Boost Vapor-X GPU shortly, and i have a question about the PCI pins it requires. My PSU has two 6+2 PCI connectors, and the GPU needs 2x 8 PCI connectors, so i was wondering whether or not 6+2 would suffice for an 8 pin GPU, or do you need specifically 2x 8 pin connectors? thanks in advance.

The 6+2 connectors will work fine. They are just designed so that they will work for either a 6 pin or an 8 pin slot.
