My gpu needs two 6 pin pcie cables, but my psu only came with one 8 pin to 6 pin connector, so i need another one, as the CPU has another 8 pin connector to support it, but i cannot find any of the cables i need

Be careful when looking for pcie converter cables. The last generation PSU and GPUs usually supported a single 8 Pin. If your new card requires the newer 6x2 or even 8x2 in some cases, you will need to check if the amperage and voltage under load is supported by your PSU. Otherwise, your GPU will run sub-optimally, and can throw you a few BSODs for memory errors. Make sure you check the power requirements for your card first and see if your old PSU can handle the load.
