Ok, I've almost finished building my PC and I'm not sure which cables to use for my GPU. With the GPU (R9 270X Sapphire) two six pin to molex adapter cables came. I'm not sure whether to use the PCI-E cable (a 6 pin+2 cable) which came with my PSU (EVGA 600B Bronze) or to plug in the six pin adapter cable into the molxe cable from the PSU. Thank you for any help :)

Always use the PSU cable if you can, there is debate about sustainability if you use the adapters to "ghetto rig" it to a couple molex connectors, honestly, I don't see a problem with it, but its just plain good housekeeping to minimize potential breaks in the connections (via adapters) when possible.
