Hi,
I'm building a PC for a friend, and i'm confused with the Sapphire r9 280x. It has 2X 6+2pin power connectors. However, the PSU i'm getting is this the Seasonic S12II-620 Bronze 620W.

And the card:

So, would the PSU power the card? The PSU only has 1x 6+2 Power Connector and a single 6 pin connector. I'm guessing i don't need a PSU with 2X 6+2 Pin connectors, right?

Thanks you.

Nope that will work totally fine :)  You need 1x8 pin which is the 6+2 and you need 1x6 pin. Your psu has that your all good to go :)

That's a really unclear specs page for that video card, I understand your confusion! The picture shows an 8pin and a 6pin on top of the card, so you'll be fine with that PSU, it has exactly what you need.
