===Motherboard and PSU Compatibility===

Krizztech · Oct 17, 2014

Hello guys recently i bought a GTX 770 and it came through the post today but once i had opened the case and got it in i then realised i didn't have a good enough power supply and i didnt have a 6pin and 8pin connector. so now i know i need to buy a new power supply and i was going to go with The Power Supply but i have been told there can be some compatibility issues and i didn't want to waste money if i ordered the PSU and there was issues so im here to see if you guys could tell me if my mother board and the PSU i want are compatible.

The Power Supply Link

and my motherboard which is a

Gigabyte
GA-78LMT-USB3

If any of you can answer my question then leave an answer below

THANK YOU !

It is compatible and would work, but the cx series uses cheap caps and has a high failure rate. This 550w XFX http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ is cheaper and a much higher quality unit and will power your system just fine.

Does the PSU you linked come with all the same connectors such as 8pin and 6pin like CX Series?

What issues?
Yes, so far as I know, they are compatible.

What is your current psu?
If it is 600w and you are only missing a 8 pin connector, there are adapters for that.

Corsair CX is only a fair tier 3 psu on this list:

If you can, look for a higher quality unit.
Seasonic, XFX, antec for example.

At the moment in my computer I only have a 270V power supply.

huh?? there no such thing. the only compatibility you will need is how much power you need and if the motherboard connection is an ATX one. that's it... hell you could even buy a generic one. and as @bignastyid said there are adaptor to what you need/

270V???
I think you mean 270W which is inadequate.

+1; XFX and Seasonic are both great power supply manufacturers.
