[AaronHighley]

 

Hey just bought a gtx 970. I have a problem. My psu only has 1 8 pin connector. Do I have to buy another psu or is there some sort of adapter I could use to have 2 8 pin cables. I know I messed up and should of done research

That is the cheapest PSU I could find, £41, and it has a PCIE 6+2 pin, which is what I use for my GTX 970.

 

Buy my advice is to save up a bit more and buy a better one. 

 

This one is £70 and is fully modular:

Bear in mind that this thing will be touching everything else in your system bar the monitor.  RAM, Motherboard, Hard drives, SSDs and Graphics card.

 

Saving £20 here only to find it has fried your entire system is not good value.

Hard to get a decent quality PSU for £35 - £45 it looks like.

Better if you can extend the budget to £50- £60 range...
