That comes with PCIe cables, you just didn’t have to plug them in originally as it’s a modular PSU. Do you have the original box? It should contain the cables you need.

I just upgraded from a 1050 ti to a 1660 super but i have an problem. 

My old 1050 ti didn't come with a pci e cable because it didn't need one. Now my new 1660 super does need one but i don't have it. 

What is the right one to buy? Because when i search it i get so many different options.

 

Thanks in advance

Video cards don't come with pci-e cables. 

 

Power supplies provide any additional pci-e power connectors. if your power supply has no pci-e connectors, your power supply may be too weak for that video card. 

 

A GTX 1050ti consumes up to around 75 watts, while the 1660 super consumes up to around 120-140 watts, depending on model. 

If you have a 250-300 watts power supply, it may not be powerful enough to power that 1660 Super card.

Check in the PSU box

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

Do you have all the cables that came with this PSU?

You should have a cable that looks like this:

Amazon.com: COMeap ATX CPU 8 Pin Male to Dual PCIe 2X 8 Pin (6+2 ...

That has two of these at the end:

Corsair Type 4 Sleeved PCIe 6 2 Sort | Dustin.dk

 

These are the PCIE cables you need.
