I'm struggling to find a PSU for my latest build...

Mainly because I have this GPU - which requires two 6 pin PCI power connectors:

If anybody could post links of PSU's between 650w-800w that would be great.

Also if anybody can confirm if I could use a splitting such as this if I buy a PSU with just one 6 pin connector:

Thanks.

Anything Modular should come with more than 2x6 pin (usually 6+2pin that you only use the 6pin part).

Best to stick with something from Tier 1 from here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

There's this XFX Pro Black Edition 850W - As per NewEgg, comes with 6x 6+2 pin PCI connectors:

(NewEgg spec: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207029_

Or a much better priced:
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W - with 4 x 6+2pin

If the PSU only provides one 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector then don't buy it because the PSU manufacturer has deemed that the PSU is unable to supply the 150 Watts that two 75-Watt 6-pin connectors need. You don't want to be using a splitter cable on such a PSU because it could lead to melted wires and a fire.
