Connecting Sapphire R9 270x to 550W Powercool PSU


Hello I just bought a new GPU but I don't know how to connect it to my PSU. On my PSU there are 2 6-pin PCI-E ports. On my GPU there are also 2 6-pin PCI-E ports. However the cables that were provided by with the GPU are 2x PCI-E to Molex.

Therefore to me (an amateur) it seems that I only plug in the PCI-E cables to the PSU and have the molex end that just doesn't connect to anything. Is there any way I could connect the molex cables to my GPU?
 
Solution
You might try the place that built your PC; they should have provided all the cables that came with your PSU, including the one you need.

It certainly looks like it.

The red cable is 8 pin to 6(+2) pin PCI-E from the PSU and the 2 yellow ones are 6 pin PCI-E to molar that were provided with the GPU. What do I need to purchase in order to make this work?

I do not have money to buy a new PSU right now. This one seems to be work fine for my needs. Would you be able to tell me which cables I would have to buy?
