Quick PSU GPU question

    I have a new gtx 760 that needs a 6 and 8 pin power connector.

    I also picked up a Corsair cx750 Modular PSU.

    The psu came with a cable that has a 6 pin and a 2 pin daisy chained to a second 6 pin and 2 pin connector.

    Is this the only power that I'll need leaving off one of the 2 pin connectors?

    Or does the 6 and 8 pin connector need to come from different cables?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    The pic is pretty much it on the one cable daisy chained. I figured that would be enough and the second cable was for sli.

    What had me second guessing was the two 6 pin to one 8 pin adapter included with the card...

    Thanks again!
