Hey all,
I am building a PC for the first time and I chose an EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked for my GPU that needs a 6 pin and 8 pin power connectors. The PSU I have is an EVGA 600b and it only has one line with 2 x 6+2 pin connectors. My question is, should I use the two connectors on that one line or do the 6+2 for the 8 pin and do the two molex to 6 pin adapter and use two different lines. I know the correct answer is get a new PSU but I just dropped a lot on this build and changed my mind on the GPU at the last second. I will upgrade it soon to something bigger and probably modular. Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use PSU ones, one 6+2pin and one 6pin, additional 2pin should just hang somewhere

Use the PSU connectors as Ahmadjon says.
Unless you're going to go SLI I or are fussy about cable management I see no reason to swap the PSU for a modular unit.
