I have foolishly sent away the power cables that came with my Corsair CX600M PSU that plugged into my GTX 780ti.
Now I need to buy some new ones but am really confused as to what cables I need to buy.
Would it be two of these? http://www.corsair.com/en-us/type-3-sleeved-black-pci-e...
Or one of those and one of these?

As this is what Corsair recommended, but I'm not sure as the pictures only show the GP end of the cable.
I only have one slot on the PSU which would accommodate this cable out to the GTX 780ti, but the GPU needs a 6-pin and 8-pin.

Thanks in advance!

Either choice is correct. If you look closely at the second choice you will see that it can be split as in the first choice.

What you need is the first one (two of them). The second one is for the CPU and will NOT work with video cards.

Simply all 8 pins on one of the cable, and 6 (the 6-grouped pins) on the second one.

Thanks guys for your help!
I have ordered two of the http://www.corsair.com/en-us/type-3-sleeved-black-pci-e... and will give them a go. They're stupidly hard to get hold of though which is frustrating.

Knew I could rely on TH forum for genuinely useful help.

Cheers again,
