From what I have heard, it is possible to use a 2x6-pin PCIe GPU in a 1x6-pin PCIe PSU through the use of an adapter that converts 4-pin to 6-pin. Is this possible, and if so, would it be ok to have one connector plugged into the 6-pin connector and the other into the adapter?

CX600 has all of the power connectors used on current motherboards. It also has more SATA power connectors and has two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

The Cit 650W PSU lacks an 8-pin CPU power connector and only has two SATA power connectors and one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

My PSU would supply enough current as far as I know (600W for a Radeon HD 7870 and FX-4300), but I'm not sure whether to go for the £25 Cit 650W PSU or the £59 Corsair Builder Series CX600 PSU.

Sorry, when I said "my PSU", I meant the PSU I am planning on getting, rather than my current PSU.
