Thats a Full Modular power supply,so you should be able to just buy a PCI E cable from your local Computer shop, and just connect it like you would with the other wires it comes with, depending on how many pins your GPU uses you might have to buy a certain one or if you have space on the supply you can buy 2 cables, but make sure your not drawing to much power from your PSU so you dont hit your max, which with a 850W id bet your have more then enough to power it.

All you have to do is ask the worker if he has a PCI Express cable for a "Modular" Power supply.

On the PSU is will say VGA1, VGA2 etc. They are where you connect your PCI-E/VGA power connectors. You will need an 8pin (6+2) and a 6pin (6+2). Your PSU has a plethora of PCI-E power cables.
