Hi guys, I`m waiting for my new Gigabyte Radeon RX 470 4 GB to upgrade from MSI GTX 760. Old card have power connection 8-pin+6-pin, on my power supply (Corsair CX500M) it`s 6-pin+2-pin+6-pin which worked great so far (never had problems at least). I`ve noticed that Radeon have one 8-pin power connection. So is this a problem if I use my 6-pin+2-pin or it`s ok? It`s consumes less power than 760 GTX, but I`m new in upgrading PC (I`ve always left this job for cutomer service, but I think it`s time to do something myself :)) and I want to ask if this is a problem?

And my motherboard: ASRock B85 Pro 4, is it compatible with this card?

Cheers
