Hi all first time poster quick question about powering this card. I have an antec true power trio 650w psu which has one 6+2pin pcie and one 6 pin pcie my card requires two 8 pcie. Should I use adapters to convert one 4pin molex to 6 pin pcie then a two 6 pin pcie to one 8 pin pcie to make up for the missing 8 pin for the card?

You are fine as long as your 6-pin has 3 wires on each side of the connector. (3 yellows and 3 blacks) That makes it able to accept a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Express-Power-Adapter-PCIEX68ADAP/dp/B001TK3TJY
I would go that route over using a Molex to 8-pin.
