Installing 8800gt first build

Ok, this is my first build so please bear with me...😀


I want to connect my evga 8800 gt to my corsair hx 620 power supply.
My motherboard is ga-x38-ds5.

I want to know the answers to the following questions:

1) since this board is Pci 2.0 is the extra power connector required?

2) If required how do I connect it to the 620 hx? i.e do I use the pcie 6 pin connector that came with the psu or do I use the cable that came with the graphics card?

3) Now, the graphics card cable has two white molex connectors with a single black connector at one end, I know the black one is the 6 pin and goes into the graphics card, what about
the white ones where do I connect them? Do they connect with the 4 pin molex power connector that came with the psu?

Thanks🙂

1) Yes
2) Use the pcie 6-pin connector
3) Not needed
 

Thanks for the fast reply!🙂


Please do not mind me asking, if I had to connect those two white molex connectors to what would I connect them? Maybe to the 4 pin molex connectors that came with the psu.
Am I right?

 
Those two molex connectors are only used if your psu doesnt have a dedicated 6-pin pci-e connector. It combines two molex psu connectors to mimic a single 6-pin pci-e connector.
