Question posted by neznam1337 on August 6th, 2012

Gpu Pins, Psu Pins

I'm planning on buying a new GPU (NVIDIA GTX 670). The GTX 670 needs two 6-pin connectors. Does the ASRock M3A770DE have the two 6-pin connectors needed for the GPU? Also, since I'm buying a new GPU, I need a new PSU (Power Supply Unit). Which pins for PSU does my motherboard have?
