So to cut the chase
I have 1 Gigabyte 6870 HD, and i've noticed that prices of the 6870's are really low lately. I was thinking of getting another 6870 and CFing it with my old one. The problem is that my PSU only has 2 6pin connectes, How bad of an idea is to put 2 times molex to 6pin into the other graph card?

rest of the system system:
CPU: AMD fx 8120
RAM: 8GB ddr3 1600mhz
and the PSU im currently using is ATX 650W Corsair VS

2x 6870's require 4x 6-pin PCIe connectors. And about 600W minimum
