Hi guys, so I'm about to buy a used GPU but it doesn't come with cables. So i was wondering what cables do i need and where can i buy them?

The GPU is either a Sapphire r9 290 reference card or a sapphire r9 290 tri-x OC.

thank you!
 
Solution
Most computer stores will sell any cable you may need. TrawetSluaP is correct that the power cables you need should be on the PSU. Most company's label them PCI-e so you know which ones they are. If you need a Video cable then most computer stores will have them in stock But wal-mart can have them at times also.

Solution
Generally, the cables you need aren't packaged with GPUs. It's sometimes molex adapters, a driver CD, and the GPU itself.

You'll more than likely need at least 2 PCI-E 6 or 8 pin connectors (possibly more, depening on the GPU you choose), and those are either already on your PSU (non-modular), or may be attached to your PSU (modular).
