Your GPU will need at least one, possibly two, connectors from your power supply that will have either 6 or 8 pins (referred to as 6+2). The card itself will seat into the PCI express slot on your motherboard, and your HDMI or DVI cables from your monitor(s) will connect to the back of it. Hope that helps!

As Nathan mentioned, the 6 or 6+2 pin cables are required, the R9 280x will require 2 of those cables
