I'm trying to install my new 4070 Super graphics card and I'm a bit confused about the power connections. I have a Corsair RM850x power supply, but I'm not sure what type of PCIe cables I need to purchase to connect everything properly. Can anyone guide me on what cords I should look for?

If your power supply has the 12vhpwr cable, which is often labeled as 12v2x6, then you can use that. If not, you can use the adapter that came with your GPU. Alternatively, if your PSU doesn't have that setup and you want to avoid using the GPU's adapter, you can buy a specific cable from Corsair—check out the one labeled CP-8920284. That should work really well!
The 4070 Super usually comes with an adapter for the standard PCIe power cables. To help you better, it would be useful to know the specific model of your 4070 Super, as well as the model number of your RM850x since there are different versions out there.
I don't think my PSU has that plug on the right.
