AMD XFX R9 380 4GB + SeaSonic 620W

Couple of questions regarding this GPU and PSU
All replies are appreciated.

The r9 380 by XFX requires x2 6 pin connectors.
The Seasonic is good for powering this GPU but does it have the x2 6pin connectors that it requires.

*Here is the GPU listing --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150730

* PSU listing --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

1.) I'm new to this I can see that it has x1 6 pin but does it have the other one as the card needs x2 6 pin. It has a 6+2 im thinking I can just use the 6 I can remove the +2.

2.) The card is at a good price I think that it is a good buy, since it is a $220 and Im getting it at $169.99.... Do you guys think im making a good purchase for price I intend to keep this card for a long time. or is there a better alternative.

3.) Any tips for when removing old PSU, and adding the new one. I dont have the anti static gloves so any tips so that I dont kill my PC is good.

You don't remove the additional connections on the 6+2. You just don't use them.

The GPU is fine mid range card. Don't expect ULTRA at 1080+ all the time.

You don't need an anti-static band. Just touch the case at intervals to ground yourself. Use a table and take socks off if you have carpet.

1) PSU comes with 1 x 6-Pin, 1 x 6+2-Pin, one will fit perfectly , the other connector you can split the 2 pin remains so no problems.

2) Nice price. i love it.

3) Dont touch any metal before touching the PC.
