Hello, before I begin I want to say that I am a complete noob at this so,
Today my brand new Asus GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC arrived which is a massive upgrade from my GT 640. I checked everything, I took the old card out and placed the new one firmly inside and secured it. Being the noob which I am I didn't connect the new card with and power cables because my old one was just in the PCIE port without any power cables coming out of it. So I proceeded to turn the computer on and a message appeared " Connect your power supply to your grpahics card " or something like that. I opened the case plugged the 8 pin into the card and I was left with 2 x 6 pin connectors and the big question was, where do these go ? every single spare cable I had coming from my PSU did not fit or was just a long 4 pin. none of the cables coming from my PSU or anything else matches the graphics card. What should I do ? buy some kind of a adapter that will make my 4 pin into 6 pin ? Or just buy a new PSU ? I really don't know what to do if someone could answer me that would be great.
P.S my PSU is ATX Power Supply A520. My PC was pre built so I was expecting a crappy CPU.
