2 way GTX 275's SLI PSU

[ResidentNumb3rs]

Im in the middle of preparing to make a computer and i was wondering that to run 2 gtx 275's, do you need 4, 6 PCI-E connectors, because to run one you need 2
thanks in advance

anyone?
im about to buy these cards and i wanna make sure my PSU will work with them

It might be easier to tell us which PSU you have. As for your question, if it takes 2 6 pin PCI-E connectors to run one card, it will take 4 to run 2. That said, most cards come with a dual molex to 6 pin PCI-E adapter.

Let us know what PSU you have and we can better answer your question. For one if your PSU only has two PCI-E connectors, there is a good chance that you won't have enough current on the 12V rail to supply two cards.

Its a Thermaltake toughpower qfan 850w, and i've been looking around and apparently it has this

im not entirely sure what it means
nevermind, i'l probably just go with the corsair 850w, corsair seems to be really popular

The tough power I saw had 4 rails and they were oddly configured. It also had 2 - 6 pin and 2 - 6+2 pin...... must be a different model... ?? I didn't like it TBH.

if i were to get a Corsair 850w, does it have 4 x 6 pins i need?

this may be a dumb question, but can you buy the cord separately?
and if so what would be the type i want
