I currently have a gtx 570 and i'm upgrading to a 780 ti.Big step i know.But i currently connect with 2 6 pin PCIE power connectors but have two extra 2 pins connectors.My new GPU requires a 8 and a 6 pin PCIE Power Connectors.So my question is can a use a 2+6 pin as a 8 pin in the same slot or will i need to consider purchasing new cables or a PSU to make this work.

Thank You

Yes you can use the 2+6 pin as the 8 pin in the same slot that's coming from your psu and the other 6 pin
If you have a good quality psu that meets the power requirements you are good to go.

Coolermaster are't exactly the best psu's around , you might be pushing it, you would be better off upgrading that psu to a better quality product , like a Corsair, Enermax, Antec for example and aiming for a higher wattage to have some headroom for overclocking and other components
