There's only one 6+2 pcie on my psu but my GPU needs 4+4 how do I connect the PSU to GPU. Someone in the community told me to buy this psu seeing what my build is.
 
Solution
The Evga 1080 FTW2 requires 2 8-pin pci-e power connections which the TX550m has. With that psu the pci-e power connections are modular so grab the box the psu came it and grab the 2 6+2 pin pci-e cables from it and plug them into the psu and gpu.

Can you link the model , because if it only has one you need a new PSU.

This one has 2 = 6+2.


PCIe Connector it should have the 2 you need.
2


Your PSU should have two of these styled 8 pins for the card
