If by 6 pin and 2 pin you mean this http://www.mechbgon.com/build/8-pin_pcie.jpg, you're fine. They combine to form an 8 pin connector. If you don't have this type of connector, you will need a new PSU.

I'm guessing you have a 290x w/ a 6 pin and 8 pin socket.
You will need:
(1) 8-pin PCI-E cable or (1) 6+2 cable
(1) 6 pin cable.
If ya ain't got that you need a new PSU....do not use any cable / adapter that has 8 pins on one end and 8 + 6 on the other.

Yes, that's exactly why they make it a 6 + 2 pin ... so they don't have to give you a 6 pin and an 8 pin for that eventuality. The 6 + 2 pin covers both situations.
Be aware that some manufactures make crazy cables....with more connectors on the end than is allowed like a dual Dual 6+2 Pin + Single 6 pin PCI-e Cable ... you don't have to worry about this with your PSU
