Hi there. I've been trying to upgrade my PC for a while now and keep running into issues. I got a new PSU (MSI Mag A1000GL) tonight and tried to finally tackle it all only to find that my PSU only came with 1x 16pin PCIe cable and 2x PCIe 8pin to 6+2pin cables even though I swore it says there would be 4.

My GPU is an MSI SUPRIM X 3080ti. I assume I'm going to have to order a new cable instead if daisychaining? Also, I suppose I have to get the exact right cable? As I have spares but I'm sure I'm not meant to mix them.

Getting so fed up with pushbacks lol

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey folks. Just a quick question. It's been about ten years since I last built a PC so looking for some advice. My old GPU has just died (GTX 1070) and I managed to grab some really good deals on some parts to upgrade said GPU and also my CPU.

The GPU I bought is the MSI SUPRIM X 3080ti. This GPU seemingly requires 3x 8pin PCIe cables where as my 1070 had just one. Am I okay to use 3x 6+2 pin cables? As that is all I have with my PSU or do I need to buy some proper 8 pin PCIe cables?

Also, I'm wondering if you think the Corsair RM750X Gold PSU will be enough to power my rig? I'll list below the current parts that I'm keeping with the new parts so you can see if you think 750w will be enough.
