3070 GPU advice

[Mr Dan Dan]

I'm hoping someone can help me cos I feel helpless right now.

I managed to get a 3070, the gigabyte geforce one and I was told a corsair TX650M would be plenty to power the whole system (MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI, 32gb corsair vengeance lpx RAM 3200, Ryzen 7 3700x, FUMA 2 cooler. Am I right in thinking the pcie cables that come with the PSU won't work on the 3070 cos it needs an 8 pin? Do I need to plug the 6 pin and the 8 pin or just the 8 pin and can I get an adapter that would connect a 6 pin and make it 8 pin. Sorry if these questions are dumb but I had a really good feeling about building my first pc and so far I've had nothing but trouble.

you should have 2 cables that have a 6pin with a 2 pin, also who told you 650w psu woul dbe enough? nvivida says you should use a 750w

I've tried pushing the 6+2 pin in and it won't go in, I've tried pushing pretty hard but I don't wanna try any harder in case I break it.

Someone on box recommended the 650w
