Need help with my PCI-e from my psu

[Olie123]

What does this mean? 4 x 8 pin PCI Express power with detachable 2 pin section
Cause im getting an ASUS 1060 6gb dual OC
and it requires a 6pin. but this 'EVGA GQ 650W/750W only has 4x8 but as the sentence says: 4 x 8 with detachable 2 pin section
Does that mean i can use this PSU? cause i dont want to buy PCI molex or what its called. '
Thanks

You can use the 8pin with 2 pins that detach. That is what they are for so you can use them as an 8pin or a 6pin.

Im getting the 750W for 79.76 dollar on amazon. Should i go for it? the 650W is 79.95.
BTW the Masterbox 5 that im getting is MSI edition. Also do you recommend any LED light?

The sentence means that your PSU has four (4) total PCIE connectors. Each connector is a 6+2 pin like this:

Your PSU comes with two (2) cables. Each cable will have two (2) of those 6+2 pin connectors.

So, you'll only need one cable, and only need to plug one of the 6-pin connectors along that cable to your GPU (leave the 2-pin unattached).

Going with Ryzen you want 2 sticks of ram. I would get 2x4GB for 8GB (minumum) or ideally 2x8GB for 16GB. Ryzen is very sensitive to ram speeds and channels. Only running one stick will handicap your system.

alright but. going 16gb is a bit too much over my budget. Recommend any LED light? for the case?

Then just get 2x4GB. As for LEDs...Not much of a fan of LEDs unless already a part of a fan. So I am not the one to ask for that one sorry.

Its alright. Thanks for the help! Also if i buy a single kit of 4gb and then buy 2 of those. do i then have dual channel? cause its a bit expensive? will it be the same if i buy 2 sticks of 4gb individualy and 4x2 pack?

Take your LED budget and put it into more RAM.

It is best to buy a dual channel kit but if you buy the exact same make and model at the same time you should be Ok running dual channel.
