I'm getting a new graphics card, (the MSI GTX 770) (with 2x 8-Pin power connectors), and my PSU: http://amzn.to/1uspWkb Doesn't have 2x 8-Pin power connectors, could I plug this in?

Thanks,

All feedback is appreciated,

Tom.

Now a days it pretty much plugs into stuff like fan controllers, LED's liquid cooling pumps and stuff like that, but back before sata plugs came along anything and everything plugged into that connector, such as DVD drives, hard drives, motherboards, fans, you name it they used that connector for almost everything in a PC.

 

 

I have one more question too though, are you sure your PSU does not have the second connector the arrow is pointing to in the pic?
