I have a WideTech 550W PSU: http://www.mwave.com.au/product/widetech-550w-power-sup...

I would like to purchase a ASUS GTX760-DC20C-2GD5 GPU: http://www.jw.com.au/asus-gtx760-dc2oc-2gd5-new-gtx760-...

But I'm not sure if I can connect it all properly since ASUS is 8 pin? Would I need to buy a new PSU, or can I connect things a certain way?

I suggest another PSU, a 550watt with no PCIe power connector can hardly have a strong +12 volt rail.

Corsair is a better brand and rated at 550watt constant output! The TT is 600watt peak but 500watt constant! So the 550watt PSU is actually bigger than the 600watt which should be labeled 500watts!
