How should I connect my GPU?

Charlise · Nov 5, 2015

Okay, so I bought these items:

INTEL CORE i3-4170
ASROCK H97M ANNIVERSARY
GSKILL RIPJAWS X 2×4GB DDR3 1600MHz
PALIT GTX750TI STORMX DUAL 2GB GDDR5 128BIT
KINGSTON 120GB SSD
WESTERN 1TB BLUE 7200RPM
CORSAIR VS450
COUGAR MX200 CASING

I'm now having a hard time on wiring. And I don't know how to connect my GPU to the PSU since it doesn't have a PCIE outlet that will be connected to the PSU, can somebody help me? I'm currently new at this.

The GTX 750ti doesn't need a dedicated PCIe cable from the PSU - it's powered completely from the PCIe slot.

You will need Molex to PCI E adaptors as your PSU Does not have them

per the vendor there one eps power to go to the mb and two video card power plugs on the power supply.

@ThatVietGuy so I don't need to connect it to the PSU anymore? I'll just leave the PCIE cords hanging right? I am so much worried because I thought I got a defective product.

As ThatVietGuy states, that particular card does not have/need a power plug, it draws all of it's power directly from it's PCI slot. Some 750's require a 6-pin plug, many, including this one, don't, it's one reason that they are so popular with people with older systems. See about halfway down the page in this review-

Charlise :

No, just plug it into the motherboard and you're good to go.

If the GPU doesn't have a 6-pin connector on it then you don't need it - that's a big oversight if it did need one.

Where should I plug it? I have this motherboard:

ASROXK H97M ANNIVERSARY

In the PCI x16 slot.

There's only one place the GPU can be plugged into the motherboard.
