Is it safe to use 8-pin adapter on EVGA GTX 950 with Antec VP450?

Since I'm an idiot I picked up the EVGA GTX 950 FTW version without checking its cable requirements, since the 950 is a low power consumption card and every other model seems to be 6-pin.

Since the power draw is well within my VP450's limits, which only has 1x 6-pin, would it be safe to use some kind of adapter to the 8-pin card? If so, what kind of adapter is best?

Thanks so much
