Graphics and PSU question???

[tyguy364]

i wanna know if a gigibyte gtx 970 will work with a cx600m psu. the only reason im asking is beacause the gigabyte version requires a 8 and 6 pin power connector and the psu has a 6+2 x2 power connectors. idk if that mean it will work together as this is going to be my first build

It will work, the PSU have 2x6+2pin PCIE connectors. So you'll have 2x6pin connectors for the Gigabyte card. I would advice getting another PSU however, as you have too much wattage and too low quality.

What he said and seconded. The CX600 is intended more for office and productivity systems than high performance gaming. You have a 'race car' you don't want a 'mini-van' engine.

What's the rest of your system?

It will work, but the temperature and stress will prematurely age the capacitors in the PSU, leading likely to an early demise for your PSU.

6+2 means that it will work either as a 6 pin or 8 pin power feed.
