According to AMD's Product Specifications Page, you only need 1 x 6-pin PCIe power connector.

You are right, but im confuse cause amazon says its 2 x 6 pin PCIe connectors

Hmm. I do recall reading somewhere that there were some models using non-reference designs that required 2 x 6-pin connectors. What model are you looking at @ Amazon?

The Gygabite one

Gigabyte makes several models. Do you have a specific model number, or at least a link to the page you're looking at?

I believe Amazon is incorrect, that gigabyte 7850 needs only 1 connector.
