You don't need it. Simply plug the PCI-E connectors from the PSU into the GPU. :)

there doesn't seem to be a cable that will fit in to the graphics card from the PSU.

If there isn't one coming out of the power supply, i'd get a different power supply with the plug. If it down't have the plug, it usually hints towards not being able to power cards with that plug. Don't go for adapters, theres not trustworthy and could kill your power supply ad maybe also your card.
