I want to use a GTX 275 and it requires 2 x 6 power connectors. The PSU I am looking at has 4 power connectors, but they are 6+2. Will I be able to connect my graphics card?

(Similiar question with my motherboard: It has 24 power connectors, but my PSU provides 20+4.) I will supply more information if needed.

You are good to go with your PSU.

6+2 = This gives you the option to hook up to a 6-pin or 8-pin required GPU.
20+4 = This gives you the option to connect to a 20-pin MOBO or a 24-pin MOBO.

The +2 portion is literally another connector that is right next to the connector with 6. So like tecmo said, you're fine. You just wouldn't plug in the 2 pin connector.
