the thing is i bought the psu EVGA g2 750w
and it said it includes 4x pci-e 6/2 but i have no cables with the letters pci-e but i do have 4 cables that say vga which i thought was that blue cable to connect to monitors but no, so is it the same thing?
 
Solution
Monitor type VGA cables are display cables. The VGA cables being talked about with respect to your PSU are Graphics card power cables, aka VGA cables. PSU VGA cables are power connectors while monitor VGA cables are display connectors.
I am looking at the pictures of the cables on newegg: (the sixth picture if you popup the photos dialog)

I assume you are talking about the cable with the 6/2 plug labeled VGA. If so, then yes, that is the cable you want to use to plug in to your GPU.

That is a very misleading label, as when you think of a VGA cable you normally think of the old-school analog connectors to plug your monitor in to your gpu.
