Hey guys I'm building my first computer and when I wanted to hook up my GPU to the Power Supply, I noticed that my PSU has three PCI-E connections, one is red and two are black, by the way, I'm going with the EVGA FTW+ GTX 970, which has a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector slot, so should I use the red 8-pin for the 8-pin on the GPU and use a black 8-pin for the 6-pin on the GPU or what should I do???

I know this might seem like a stupid question but I really don't want to screw up my GPU since it's not the cheapest one on the market.

All help appreciated, Thanks!!!
