Hey everyone, I'm new to the custom PC world and am in need of assistance. I am looking at this graphics card http:// and it requires a 6 pin and 8 pin Power connector. My current PSU is this http:// And it comes with 4 PCIE 6+2 Pin power connectors. The cables for the power connectors have them double back, like the cables to the second connector double back out of the first one. Will I still be able to power that card if I use the second connector? Or do I need to get another power supply with seperate cables for the PCIE connectors?

the 4+4 one goes to your motherboard, while the two 6+2 ones will go to your gpu, and you will just have the one 6+2 having the +2 not plugged in, while the other 6+2(8) will be fully plugged in

So if my power connector looks like this it will still work? The bottom connector comes out of the one that is plugged into the card, it's zip-tied to the main cable. And i'm looking to upgrade my current graphics card to the one linked
