upgrading to 770 do I need a new PSU

[agodin]

Hey all,

Looking at upgrading my GTX 560 to the GTX 770 although I am a little worried about the PSU I currently have the Galaxy DXX 1000w (http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/enermax_galaxy_1000_watt_dxx_psu,1.html) I think is the one. reading the review he mentioned it was between 81-85% effecencey if this makes any diffirence

I know it has enough watts but after looking into my case i noticed it only had 2x 6pin PCI-E connectors where as 770 requires x1 8pin + x1 6pin

So question is do i just use a 6-8pin adapter (sure the GPU comes with one anyway) or invest in a new PSU?

Thanks in advance!

hehe thanks for the input ben, my concern is with the 8pin connector that the amount of juice it can put out
Cost a small fortune when I got the PSU a few years ago so would prefer it not going to waste.

I too read it came with an 8pin but I belive there is an older version of the same PSU which did not have 8pins back then...anyway after diggin out the box I can confirm it had no 8 pins with it just x4 6pins.

Ill just order the card and try the cables provided and hope for the best

Thanks all
