This is my PSU which is currently sitting in it's box. Been reading about people having issues with how to connect it properly, is there a wrong way to do it?

    though the psu isn't the best, it won't blow up, the 3 separated cables (with 2 connectors each) are more than adequate for any 3070ti.
     
    i can imagine that if folks are attempting 1 cable for 2 connectors that are each drawing 120-150 watts each . . that can get sketchy.

    I think the PSU will be fine, I haven't opened to see what cables it comes with. So all I need is to fill up one slot on the PSU end?

    here's a review:

    th only hesitation i have in saying it isn't a "best" psu is because the OEM, gospower is new kid on the block, like first commercial psu new kid. but if you read the components and performance, all of which are outstanding.
     
    for what cable there are:
    There are two EPS and six PCIe connectors. It is nice that this PSU has three PCIe cables, which you can use in super high-end VGAs with three PCIe sockets.

     
    that card only has two connectors so 2 cables are plenty.

     Okay thank you. I wanted a white psu with white cables. It was either that or a Corsair and I just went the with the CM. I am hoping my components will be safe

    there was a white 650 watt corsair in the simular item wheel on that new egg page. and remembering the price, i'm sure your rig will be fine and pocket book even better.
