I need some help with the compatibility of a PSU and a GPU

imBush · Mar 28, 2015

The main thing I would like to know is if the PSU I plan on buying is going to work with the Video Card I have. I have the EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked. The main problem is that I don't know if the PCI-E pins will work with the graphics card. It has an 8 pin and a 6 pin requirement. The PSU that i'm going to buy is a Corsair CX750 Builder Series. Also, if their is any problems with these two parts together can you please recommend a replacement psu for me. Thanks in advance!

those parts will work well together but why not get a gtx 960 instead of 760?

First off, you've treated yourself to a new graphics card, treat yourself to a quality PSU. The CX-series from Corsair is below expectations regarding the quality pr dollar ratio, and it is unfortunate since Corsair usually sells good PSU's.

These ones will do:

All of them are high quality and have 4x6+2pin PCIE connectors. That means it could run your GPU in SLI. So running one will be no problem. And most important the quality of all three is excellent.
