Hey guys! I'm new to computer building and im wondering what are the vga and perp slots in the power supply!

 

[Deli]

"VGA" for graphics cards. "Prep" for case fans and lights????? Not sure.

[MPX309]

VGA is video card probably. . . erm, not sure what perp is, what is on the other end of the perp cables? . . . maybe just peripherals? 

[MrLewisMHarris]

perp is peripherals, optical drive, hard drives etc.

[MrLewisMHarris]

okay on second thought nope because of the SATA power directly beneath the Perp slots. As Deli said its probably lights, fans and other molex.

for what I can find it would be just molex connectors and floppy...

There are two outputs for GPUs already. Unless you want to install 3. GPU uses a lot of power. Power supply aims for 3 GPUs usually will be 1000W and above. 

 

Don't think those 6 pins are designed for amp that GPU will draw.

perp = pheripherials

4-wire molex connections

Cous on the windforce gtx 970 you need 6+4 pin power connectors and im planing to sli!

Depends on that specific power supply. If the "prep" output is on a different rail. It might not able to put out as much amp to power GPUs. Check the specification before attempting. Also the power supply you showed already has two specific outputs for GPUs, enough for SLI.
