Hello, I have just ordered parts for a new gaming build.

My PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/174182-ocz-modxstream-pro-600w-ps...

and my GPU: https://www.aria.co.uk/Products?search=GFX-R9280X-11221...

I am worried that the PSU that I have already ordered will not have the right connection! :'( 

Please help me as I am limited with time as I will be leaving the country in a few weeks.

I am buying now as it will be super expensive to order stuff in Brazil.

Thanks in advance, Mikey.

Should support if its a genuine & good psu. The earli 7970 rebadged 280x with higher clock rates could easily support 550w antec or corsair psu.

The one you purchased recommends a 750 watt PSU. You have a 600 watt. It may be underpowered. You should maybe look into the r9 270x series, those cards require 500 watts.

yes your PSU is good as it has 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 6+2pin PCIe power. ±12 V means you're fine. you may take a look here http://www.anandtech.com/show/7400/the-radeon-r9-280x-r...
