    I'm looking at upgrading from Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 to Zotac 1070 AMP Extreme! with Ice Storms Cooling. I have the Corsair CX850M (8+4+2) and I'm looking for a Corsair with 8+8 pins for the new GPU. Im not sure if there's such a thing as a PSU being Haswell-E/Broadwell-E readh. If so thatd be a preferance. I have the 5820K. Thinking about a 6900K upgrade. I don't want to pass the $150 mark. It can be from another reliable manufacturer, preferably Corsair. I've been comparing Corsair models RMI/RMX/HXI/TXM. TXM might not be the one. HXI has 8+8 but is so expensive, so I don't want that. I can't find out what the rmx rmi come in. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

    Ok thank you. Is it a 8+8 or 8+6+2? It seems I found out the diff pin inputs. I found that the AXi is higher up than the HXi. Is it expensive?

    Nvme I found it on Amazon. Expensive. $200 for it. Do you know of any others?

    Ok I found that the RMx/i both offer 2-4+4 connectors.
