well you will need a 8 pin CPU cable, 24 pin mobo cable, and both an 8 pin and 6 pin pcie cable for your GPU. Lastly you will need enough molex and sata power cables to power your drives (so at least a double sata) and then molex depends on what your pumps/etc require

 

EDIT: if youre gonna be running 2 of those cards then you will need 2 8 pin and 2 6 pin pcie cables

When in doubt, re-format.

So, what cables do you need? 

 

8 Pin CPU/EPS

2x 8 pin PCIe

2x 6 pin PCIe (might be a good idea to get the 6+2 pins in case you have dual 8 pin cards later)

24 pin 

2x double sata 

 

And then however many molex you need.

Doesn't the HX750i only have 3 8pin PCIE? Don't you need a splitter to power 2 cards with a total of 4 PCIE connectors?

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

The HX-750i has a total of six 6+2 PCIe power connectors. Three cables with two connectors each.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
