Powering GTX 760

OK, just been building my upgrade, and though I don't have a CPU as yet - arriving tomorrow - I've been building the other bits.

The GTX 760 came with a cable that adapts two drive power cables, to form one plug that plugs into the graphics card.

Now off the PSU there is another one of the same style, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using that or not for the graphics card. Is that right?

The one of the PSU is a 6/8-pin cable, which is used to power the GPU..

The one in the box with the GPU is a 2 Molex to 6/8-pin adapter..

If you GPU only has one 6 pin slot, use the one from the PSU.

If your GPU has 2 6 pin connectors you need two cables, if you only have 1 on your PSU, you can use the adapter.

Right. That's the ticket. The GPU has two 6 PIN connectors and I only have one coming from the PSU, so I will use the adaptor. Thought it must be right, just by virtue of the fact that it fitted. Thanks.

It's exactly like lego, if it fit, it'll work..
