Hello,
I am planning of building a new PC with a Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X GPU. The issue I have is that this GPU requires two 8 pin connectors, whereas, the PSU that I currently have (FSP Epsilon 600W) has one 6 pin and one 2+6 pin connectors,
I understand that we can use adapters from 6 pin to 8 pin (or molex to 8 pin), but I'm concerned if there will be any adverse effects on my new components. Im thinking that my PSU is powerful enough so I should be OK?
Below are the details of my PSU:
If all fails then I'll have to purchase a new PSU, something like a Corsair CX600.
Appreciate your help.
