Hi. I have a Corsair CX750M power supply and a Sapphire Toxic R9 280X, but how would I go about powering the graphics card? (The GPU requires two 8 pin input)

The power supply includes two PCI-E cables, both with two 6/8 pin connectors on the end.
So, would I only use one cable, and plug both connectors in to the graphics card, or would I plug both cables into the graphics card?

Thanks in advance,

Use your 6+2 pins to feed both the 8 pin slots in your card and you're good to go. 6+2 pins can be combined together to form a single 8 pin one.
