Finding the right PSU for GTX 1080

[joshsadler98]

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone knew if my current PSU (CiT 850W PSU) would be sufficient for a GTX 1080 that will probably end up being OC. I can only seem to see one 6+2 pin connector and I know the GTX 1080 requires 1x 6 and 1x 8 pin. Or would I need to upgrade and if so does anyone have any suggestions. Heres a link to the PSU https://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-850W-Silent-Power-Supply/dp/B00649YLAQ

Will this one you have suggested be sufficient for upgrading different areas of the computers as well e.g extra fans etc. Does it also come with the correct connectors being the 6pin and 8pin ones?

this powersupply I recommanded has got all the power you will need for 1 graphics card and all the other stuff you like. like extra fans. it comes with 4x 6+2 pcie cables so yes even with a bit more NOT to be confused with the cpu(EPS) 2x4 pin.
