So I'm thinking about buying a new gpu. It needs an 8 pin cable which I have. The cable is currently connected to motherboard probably to power the pci e. Do I need 2 8 pin cables or I can use the one I have connected to the motherboard on the gpu?
 
Solution
Your Motherboard uses an 8 pin for the CPU power...That stays there can't be used to power GPU's.
You need a 6+2 = 8 pin PCIE\VGA cable to run the graphics card.

What model is the PSU? Cooler Master ?
