Hey guys, I can post a pic if the question is not clear. So I got the Seasonic 650W semi modular power, and it's a bit confusing. It has a built in cable of 1 24 pin mobo, 1 CPU 2*4pin, and 1 PCI, 6+2pin(There are two of them, but seems I can use only one since they are in-twined, not sure), so I figure, to power my GTX770 properly, I need 1 8pin and 1 6 pin cable. Does this mean I got to use an extra PCI cable? Or should I simply use the one with the CPU and Mobo cable?

Hi

If graphics card needs a 6 pin & 8pin PCI-e p connectors then you need a PSU with these connector plugs

a pci-e with 6+2 connector can fit a pci-e 6 or 8 pin socket on the graphics card

you have not given exact model of seasonic pcu so we can not look it up
to be sure what connectors it has

A picture of pci-e cable + connector would be useful or the exact psu model

you can not use the ATX 12V cpu 4+4 connector for a graphics card as it wont fit and CPU requires this connector

Take 6+2 PCI-E connector from psu and plug it in! :)

So the model is the one above. For some reasons I can't seem to upload the picture here. If you scroll to the middle you can see that it has a duel PCI 6+2 cable. I called my local store and they said that should be enough for GTX770, but as I'm doing the assembly here they are just so tight, they can barely fit in the two power slots of the video card, so I wonder, should I go ahead with this or should I use a second PCI cable?
