I'm not sure if this will cause an issue or not but my GTX 960 came with two 6 pin pcie's instead of a 6 and an 8 pin and I'm wondering if its defective or it'll be fine with just two pcie's.

edit: Even the site I bought it off of shows it as a 6 and 8 pin so is it possible NCIX showed the wrong specs?

The GTX 960 has a TDP of 120W

2x6-Pin power connectors is a total draw of 150W (75x2), + Mother power of 75W is 225W.

To add to this you can actually get 110W from 6-Pin power connectors making it 220W (110x2), +75W of motherboard power making it 295W.

Easily enough power for the card, and yes it would be a mistake.
