Apparently the PSU I bought (EVGA 430W 80+) doesn't have a 6-pin connector, from what I saw on their website(I might be wrong) and I was wondering if the XFX Radeon RX 460 2GB (2-fans one) needs one of those connectors, and if I'll have to get another PSU.I can still return the EVGA 430W,

i don't see any 6 pin power connector on the first, only in the second

the second link is for a rx with 4 gbs of vram, that is better, most games will ask you to have at least 2 gbs of vram, you only have two with the first link, better 4 to have textures on high or ultra in games

the one is listed on the information i replied to you, the cable is called pci e

form the link i posted

100-W1-0430-KR_XL_3.jpg


the second on the left line, the yellow one that says pci-e

this psu should be enough for what you want to build, a bit small but perfectly capable

Thanks! I got it now, for some reason I thought it was just an 8-pin connector.

RA_CAGoogle: Can you confirm that you picked atljsf's answer as the Best Answer. I voted it up and I think you picked it as solution at the same time, so when I clicked I thought I had picked best solution so unselected it, then realized I probably didn't mess up, and it was coincidental, so selected best answer... I know, I'm going to have another beer
