MSI GTX 970

This is my first build. How do I connect the power to this, so my psu has a 6 and 4 pin PCI-E connector from the power supply I can connect the 6 pin to the card, but what about the 8 pin?

I haven't got all the stuf, so haven't started yet

Could you link your PSU please? It would be helpful

You should be good, it has two 6+2 cables. This means you can use one 6 pin cable, and then for the second cable you smush the 6 and the 2 power cable together like this

and then it makes an 8 pin cable. Good luck with your build!

Ahh your right I was looking at the box since I got the Power supply on me now thought it was 1, just goes to show my eyesight is bad ._. Thanks. So what happens to the extra 2 pin dangling around.

The dangle around, or you tie them up with zip-ties
