I'm trying to figure out if my Corsair RM850e can handle my Asus 9070xt OC graphics card, especially since it only has two PCIe connectors available for the motherboard, leaving me with just one more for the GPU. I've heard conflicting advice: some say I should use three separate PCIe connectors, while others suggest that it's okay to use the 12V 2x6 2-in-1 cable along with a single PCIe connector. Should I return the RM850e and get a different PSU, or is the current setup sufficient?

The RM850e actually comes with three PCI-E plugs with plenty of power to back them up. If you can use all three without worrying too much, you're good to go! Just make sure to connect them properly.
But I realized that two of those connectors will be used for the CPU, so does it really leave enough for the GPU?
