Long version: So I want to upgrade my hardware for PC gaming and I know a few things to be sure of, make sure your chip sets match, your ram is compatible, and so forth. I am unclear on graphics card connections however. The card I have already purchased, so the board is what I am trepidatious about. For the power consumption on the card it specifies "up to 300Wadditional 6+8 pin PCIe power required" I am going to be honest and say I don't know what a 6+8 pin PCIe connector looks like. I assumed it was a smaller set of connectors near the Graphics card slot on the mobo, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3bZyjX tells me everything is compatible bit I didn't see those smaller connections on the mobo I have listed. So i came here looking for some expertise. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I already tired google but I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance
