MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X, 6+8 pin or 2+6 pin?

[TrambullLTT]

Hi guys

 

I'm about to build my first Gaming PC and I've got a little problem. I decided that I'm going to buy the new MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X. The PSU I'm planning to buy is an EVGA 550W G2. The PSU only has a 6+2 pin but the GPU needs a 6+8 pin. Well, that's my problem. I don't know if I need to buy another PSU with a 6+8 pin, if i can use the card with a 6+2 pin or if I can buy a connector of some kind.

Hope you guys can help, i would appreciate it.

According to this (assuming this is the correct one) it already has 2 x 8 pins and a 6 pin.

that psu should come with multiple 6+2pin, which can be used as 6 pin and 8 pin

so you shouldnt have a problem with the G2 550W
