    You need two more 8-pin connections? What two cards are you running?

    You would need to get adaptors, molex connectors to 8-pin.

    Like this.

    Depending on what cards they are might be a better idea to buy new power supply either. If it's two GTX970's....might be OK. If its two R9-290X's....new supply needed.

    Nah its 2 "ASUS GeForce ENGTX560 Ti DirectCU II"s, so from what i've read, its grand.

    PSU has space for 2 more 8 pin connections from what i can see.

    Would you not just upgrade the GTX560Ti? It's an old card at this stage, very power hungry and performance is on the lower end of the scale. Two of them in SLI would use a ton of power and generate a lot of heat.

    You'd be much better off just upgrading to something like a single R9 280X for about 200.

    I already have the 2 cards, they'll do me for now. I'll be upgrading in the future, but currently, I don't have 200 to drop on a new card.

    A quick google found THIS. I am in no way recommending that site but it might help you find what you want elsewhere.
