Mobo GPU power connector?

[cowofdoom]

Well, I'm geared up for my first computer build.... then I remembered this and kinda got worried..... poor little nub me.

Anyway, I am (planning) on getting this motherboard:

And this GPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814102505

The GPU requires a power connection to the motherboard. Well, I couldn't find anything that told me whether or not the mobo had that connector. I assume it does, I mean why not? But before I make this purchase later this afternoon I'd like to know for sure. If someone knows for sure, please say so. If you know what I should look for in the Newegg Item Intelligence that would be great too.

Thanks

The extra connector may be for sli mode only. There is an extra 4 pin connector for the power supply on the board which might also work for the 850xt.

you shouldn't have a problem, i think the power connector that they are talking about it the 3x2 12v on the video card which plugs into the PSU

on a side note, why are you getting an SLI board, and an ATI video card? If you aren't going with an Nvidia card, don't get an SLI board.... you're just wasting your money that way.

theres alot of people out there who end up getting Nforce 4 Mobos and ATi X1900XTX's, so whats the difference here?

Sometimes people are attracted by the features of the board or the chipset.

Believe it or not, not everyone's primary concern is how many PCI-E x16 slots a motherboard has.

mine is just.... best price + performance + reviews? ended up getting that a different asus than the one i posted cause of price.... didn't get SLI.
