I've left all my cables for my PSU (Novatech 750w black edition) back in the UK and in need of an 8 pin and a 6 pin connector for my gtx 760.

The PSU to mobo cable on the left of the pic has a spare 8 pin connection, can I use the 6-8pin adapter that came with the Graphics card and use the double molex to 6 pin adapter for the other 6 pin? Unsure if I'd get enough voltage through this way.
I know it would be more ideal to get a pci-e to 6 and 8 pin cables but does the above work OK?

Otherwise, where can I purchase one for a reasonable price? Had a look on Amazon.de but no idea which one is OK :(

Cheers

Will be getting the remaining cables posted over at some point, but with royalfail delivery it'll probably get here next year now.

Was just wondering if my proposed solution with the adapters that came with the graphics card would be OK.

I just double checked and have an 8 pin plug that comes directly from the PSU so that should be fine no? And the dual molex to 6 pin can be connected to my spare cable that is plugged in to the PSU only to run a fan.

Yeah, I can't really see what the purpose of the 8 pin, thought that most have a spare cable for graphics card as standard?

I've got the 20+4 pin for the CPU/mobo plugged in naturally, here are the specs for this PSU

Cheers for your help.
After doing a little more reading I also saw that one of the differences between the CPU and GPU 8 pin is that the former has yellow cables on the clip side too. I'm guess this is just a 'spare' cable for those than require the 20+8 connection or something?

Guess I'll just have to go without my new card until the cables arrive whenever :(
