So i bought the gtx 970 asus strix today and i connected it to my nox psu 600w but it only as 6 pin pci-e , plus 2 extra , so i plugged everything , power it up but in game my computer just freezes and sometimes it shuts down.. is i the psu problem or does it sound like it is more of a gpu problem?
thanks

What are the rest of your specs? Processor, RAM, hard drives, etc.? I suspect your PSU is crap. NOX is not a good brand for PSU. From what I've seen, that 600W is only capable of 465W total output and the amperage sucks. Probably need a new PSU. Get a quality brand like EVGA, Seasonic, XFX. 600W I would say is a minimum.

^ I agree that the power supply is probably to blame, but just as a point of order, you can run a rig with an overclocked i5 and a 970 off a 500w power supply easily. (i.e. no reason for him to buy a huge power supply, just a good quality one.)
