Question About Installing New Graphics Card

[gobears110]

I am currently using an EVGA nex750w 80 + gold psu and am thinking about buying the Sapphire r9 280x toxic and it requires 2 8 pin PCIE. My psu came with 4 6 +2 pin / 6 pin PCIE. Can I use two different 6+2 PCIE cables to plug into my gpu? There are 4 slots for VGAs on the psu itself so can I take 2 of those slots for 1 gpu? That might have been worded badly, but I don't know how else to state it. Thanks in advance.

yes go the power supply made for sli/crossfire. you use two of the six plus two cables and plug them into two of the vga power ports on the power supply and your done.

Thanks for the answer and quick reply. So just to make sure your saying that I can use my current psu?

yes you can it was made for high end gpu. all power supplys now come with two sets of power cables.
