ASUS GTX 770

Just build my pc, since the 770 requires 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin, is it enough to have 1 single 8 pin divide into a 6+2 and a 6?

Basically a single 8 pin cable to power my card

wat?

you have to plug in all the connectors that are on the card.

6+2 pin is an 8 pin. Basicly it is PSU manufacturer's way of making their connectors more versatile.

Yeah, i know that, but one single 8 pin divides into TWO: 6 pin and a 6+2.

Since mi card requires 8+6 I plugged this single 8 pin to 6+2 + 6.

I was worried it couldn't handle the power, but it's functioning well right now.

I've got a corsair cx600m 600w. I just plugged the 8 pin in the modular 8 pin connector (the only one) i don't really know what rail it is runninig on.

The lights on the power connectors on my graphics card are green, i just wanted to be sure it had stable power when it demands it.

Just a 6 pin to molex and then i could have the molex to 6 pin again.
