I was wondering if the pin layout between my old power supply (210-PQ-0750-X1) & my new power supply (220-T2-0850-X1) are similar enough so I can avoid having to completely re-wire my system.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Cables for 850 watt and under BQ/B2/B3/B5/G2/G3/G5/G+/GA/GM/P2/PQ/T2 units are compatible/interchangeable..You're good to go.
 
See Which EVGA Modular Cables are compatible with my PSU? in the EVGA FAQs.
 
You can always Contact EVGA Customer Service to verify.

Thanks for your response Bob, I really appreciate it. I was actually looking at that page, but I didn't understand what I was looking at. What is the "part numbers" drop-down box that corresponds to each wattage PSU? I guess that's what was throwing me off.

Edit: Ok I think it's a bit clearer for me after reading the top of the FAQ, but for example, I'm looking at a cable set that EVGA sells that says it's compatible with a series of models, but the part number is 101-CK-0850-B9. When I'm on the FAQ all the part numbers start with 100 on the drop-down, and 101 is not listed. Is there something I'm missing?

All those are compatible and with the same pinout on the end that goes in the PSU, that's where the difference can be..Component-end pinout such as in connectors that go to the motherboard, CPU, etc. are industry-standard..There's no industry-standard for the PSU-ends and that's what can cause damage to components if incompatible cables are used.
 
The BQ/B2/B3/B5/G2/G3/G5/G+/GA/GM/P2/PQ/T2 PSUs have the same pinout so you can interchange cables/cable sets between those units.

The 101-CK-0850-B9 cable set is compatible with BA/B3/B5/G2/G3/G5/GP/GM/P2/PQ/T2 PSUs.
