Here's the deal: I have a Kingwin 750 Watt Maximum Power PSU; with it comes PCI Express power cable of a 6+2 and 6, so essentially an 8+6 pin config.
Would I, with this PSU and pin configuration, be able to run a GTX 780 Lightning or a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X.
And, even if able, should I get a more reliable brand of PSU, for, as far as I know, my current Kingwin doesn't have any Precious Metal and Buzzword Certificate to its name, unlike other comparable brands.
What I know of the 780 Lightning is that it requires an 8-pin/ 8-pin, while I believe the 290 Tri-X requires a 6-pin/ 8-pin. That begs the question, should I acquire the 780 Lightning right now, get all of the Nvidia stuff associated with it (Physx, etc.), or instead wait a week or 2 for the aforementioned 290 with its comparable performance to the 780 along with 1 GB more Vram and larger, 512-bit memory bus?
I'm rather stuck and any help would be, well, helpful.
