Hello,
I am thinking about upgrading to a GTX 770 but keep wondering whether my PSU would support it sufficiently or if I'd even be able to hook it up.
Currently my system is powered by: http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001776
From what I understand, which is very lttle, the PSU should theoretically be able to do the job, but I may very well be mistaken.
Even if it does, I only have 2 6-pin connections, where the GTX 770 would require at least one 8-pin. Yet I'm told that using a 6- to 8-pin adapter may actually endanger the cards itself.
Bottom line, do I need a new PSU? I'm not too keen on spending a hundret extra but I dont want to endanger my new hardware either.
Any advice? Thanks...
