Hello everyone! I'm not a complete noob. So feel free to explain in good detail. So I have 2 GTX 780 DirectCUII GPUs (very nice graphics cards, a little pricy but I good for the money). I'm currently installing the 2nd graphic card and do I need to buy 2 more PCI express cables for my power supply? As of right now I have to plug a 6 pin and a 8 pin into the card. Someone please let me know what I need to do.

Please keep in mind I'll be using my SLI bridge so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it :)

Wait, do you know what 780's +12v rail requirement is?

Edit: Normal GTX 780s req 40A on the 12v rail, but MSI 780's only require 20.8A.

Only recommendation is to get an SSD as a boot drive in your computer if you don't already have one.
