I recently got a 6800xt and ordered a power supply rated at 700w, which has 3x 8-pin connectors. However, the PSU I received has the following connectors: 1x 24-pin ATX, 2x 8-pin EPS (one is 8-pin and the other is 4+4-pin), 3x 4-pin Molex, 5x SATA, and only 2x PCIe (6+2 pin). Is there a way I can still plug in my GPU with this setup?

It's important to check the exact model of your power supply to ensure compatibility. For your 6800xt, you'll need enough PCIe power to run it properly. If your PSU has only 2 PCIe connectors available, you might want to consider getting a different PSU or adapters that can convert other connectors to PCIe if it’s safe to do so. Just make sure you don’t overload the PSU!
Yeah, definitely check the PSU model. If you're missing PCIe connectors, adapters can help, but it's not always reliable, especially for high-end GPUs.
