Okay, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming has a one 6 and one 8 pin header. I was wondering will the pins with this PSU connect..

So the pins won't be an issue? I'm new to this whole pc thing. If I'm not mistaking GPU's use PCI express pins, right?

That PSU WILL power your system, but it a low quality unit. Get a Antec, EVGA, Seasonic, or XFX unit

Corsair IS great, but their CX series are not. They are meant for low-end budget systems are are known for their poor reliability

A lot of people buying 900 series cards. They are new and power efficient, miners love em so they fly off the shelves fast . Dont worry it will be available again soon.
The evga supernova G2 PSU is nearly as high as it gets in terms of quality. It's based on the superflower ledex series.

Don't worry about the pins, the card comes with converters in the box to make sure you can hook it up to your psu properly.
The EVGA PSU will have all you need anyway.
Anyway, If you cant find the Gigabyte 970 try the MSI one. So far those two are easily the best versions of the 970.
You can't go wrong with either one.
