Hello, first time trying to construct a PC and have run into a problem on connecting the PSU and GPU.
My graphics card is a Asus Geforce 1070 (link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814126112)
The motherboard is a Asus Z170-E (link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132691&Tpk=N82E16813132691)
The problem I am running into is that both the motherboard and GPU require an 8-pin connector. My power supply which is older has only one 8-pin connecting point on it.
After digging around this is the power supply I am currently trying to use. (link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817722002)
My question would be if there is a way to get both GPU and the motherboard running from this power supply. I found some 6-pin to 8-pin cables but then it comes down to an issue of Amps and/or Watts being insufficient.
So basically is it possible to use this left over PSU, or should I purchasing a new PSU that can do the job?
Thank you in advance.
