Hi all

Looking to get the MSI RADEON RX 5700 GAMING X 8GB which has 2x 8 pin power connector, I just want to double check my PSU has enough connectors before buying...

My PSU is a Seasonic Focus SGX 500W Fully Modular 80+ PSU/Power Supply

Thanks
 
Bargain cheers bud... Does it matter that they're on one cable if you get what I mean?

It shouldn't do. Some cards prefer two separate cables from the PSU, and it's almost a requisite for the higher-end cards. I'd imagine a 5700 would be ok on a single daisy-chain cable though.
If it comes with two 6+2 connectors on separate cables, I'd recommend to use them both from the get-go, it's one less potential hiccup.
