Corsair CX600M & GTX 960

[RomitchGaming]

Greetings everyone. I am building my first gaming PC.

My Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9byhRB

I have went into this new experience and project without any IT classes and have been sticking strictly to Youtube tutorials.

I am stuck at Pin Connections from my PSU (Corsair CX600M) and my GPU (EVGA GTX 960 4Gb SuperSC acx 2.0+)

My Gtx 960 needs an 8 pin connection. I need a thorough explanation on how to use adapters and such to convert my 6 pin and make it usable for my GPU.

(PLEASE GIVE VISUAL AID LINKS IF POSSIBLE)

Any and All help is greatly appreciated, and thanks for reading!

You dont need any adapters. Your PSU should have a 6+2 pin cable, us that.

You don't need any adapters, your PSU has two 6+2 connectors which are exactly the same as 8pin ones. All you need to do is make sure you connect all the 8 pins and don't left the separete 2 hanging.

Connectors
1 x 24-Pin main connector
1 x 8-Pin EPS12V CPU
2 x PCI-E 😀
6 x SATA
4 x Peripheral
1 x Floppy

If its just a connector you are looking for just search for "Gpu 6 pin to 8 pin". It'll cost you somewhere around $20.
But as far as i know the PSU does have a 6+2 pin so you should be able to attach it. I have a VS650 and it does have the connection for 6+2.
What i mean is if it does not have a complete 8 pin connector then use 6+2 connector the same way

I can see from your build, that you must be planning to overclock or would at least like the option to do so in the future... therefore in order to prevent problems I would suggest that you change your PSU, as I had a CX500m in the past, it failed on me when I was overclocking my 2600k, I instantly reffered to the linked list, and purchased an EVGA supernova G2 650w, which I highly recommend. Regardless, the connectors you need are present on the CX600m, in the form of a 6+2 pin PCI connector.
