So i wanted to buy as the title says a vapor-x r9 280x card which uses 2x8 pin pci-e power connectors but my psu only has 2x6 pin pci-e connectors
my psu is Silver power SP-600A2C, a 600W psu which by itself should be sufficient.
problem is with those 2 12V rails (22 amps each) with 6 pin pci-e connectors... can i use 6 to 8 pin adapter cabling on both - imo it should work since i read about 6 pin connectors giving out much more than 75W as labeled
im planning to use only 1 card, so no crossfire on this build or in the near future
EDIT: thx for previous answers, yeah, i know my psu is a bit older
i would also add that i have amd athlon II processor x4 640 - i doubt i will need better one in the near future and im not planning to overclock my system at all since im an average gamer; just wanted to have gpu that wount be total crap after 2 yrs
what about r9 270 or r9 270x gpu? would that work?
