Hey guys,

I'm doing a new build with an Asus GTX 980 and a 500Watt Rosewill Silent Night PSU.
On my old PSU, there was only 1 pcie connector per line, but on my new one, each of the 2 lines provided has 2 pcie connectors.

How should I hook this up to my graphics card? Should I plug both connectors from 1 line into the 2 ports on the graphics card or should I run a separate line for each gpu port?
 
best to do separate as they're probably on different 12V rails and you don't want to overload a rail.
 
Correction, looked up a review of your PSU and it only has a single 12V rail so it does not matter, enjoy!
