Hello everyone I'm building my first gaming rig and I have an existential question, I have a graphics card that comes with a couple of molex to Pcie adapters, but my psu already has a pair of those so which should I use?
My specs:
Cpu :AMD fx8350 4.0Ghz
Mobo :Sabertooth 990fx r2
Gpu :AMD R9 270X
Psu :Thermaltake smart 650w sp 650p
HDD:Toshiba 1TB HDKP 7200 Rev/min
Ram: 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz crucial
 
Solution
Use the PSU's. If a person's PSU doesn't have PCIe connectors, chances are that person's PSU isn't designed for the +12V load the card presents and shouldn't be using it. But card manufacturers throw them in anyway.
