While using a Molex to PCI power cable is not ideal, there is no real problem with it. You have plenty of headroom with that Power Supply, so boot up your system to see if it works. If it does, good, if it doesn't, start searching for deals!
The fact that you have a 650W PSU with only one PCI connector does raise concerns about the quality, most high quality brand 650W power supplies will have at least two. What is the make of your Power Supply?

Thanks for such a detailed reply friend, my psu is a MASTER 650 (NOT A COOLERMASTER) ive had it for about 4 years or so
Right, based on the fact that I've never heard of that make of PSU, and that it only has a single PCI power cable, I don't know if it's a good idea to run such a high value graphics card on that power supply.
I know it may be a significant amount of money to fork out, but I really recommend a new Power Supply of at least 550W from a reputable manufacturer, such as XFX, Seasonic, Corsair, or the like.
Would it be at all possible to have the rail readings for the power supply (the sticker with the numbers on it)?
