Connecting my video card to my powersupply?

Spyral · Jan 18, 2014

Hi everyone,
I'm building my first rig and I'm a little confused on how to connect the video card to the psu.

I have a Gigabyte Gtx 770 and an EVGA supernova nex750g.

These are some pictures:

The first 2 pictures are the 2 types VGA 6+2 pin connectors and 6 pin that came with the power supply.

The 3rd picture are the 2 8 pin connectors that came with the card.

The fourth pic is the pic of the cards connections. As you can see its 2, 8 pin connection, even though every guide i've watched showed the card have one 6 pin and one 8 pin.

The last pic is the pic of the back of the power supply i have.

I know I sound like a total noob, but the intallation guides and what I have just aren't really matching up. Also, in the youtube guide i watched, his connecting wires say PCI on them while mines just say VGA. I don't know if that makes a big difference.

Here's a link to that guide:

Spyral :

based on what you have, you can connect 1 6+2pin (picture 1) directly from the powersupply to your video card, then use one of the 8pin to molex cable(from your videocard (picture3)) to the other 8 pin header of your videocard plug in the 4 pin molex conector from your power supply. everything should work.

if you want the build to look a little more uniform use both the 8 pins that came with your video card (the female adapter for one of the 4pin molex you can ignore) from picture 3. dont use the 6pin and 8pin from your power supply
