Hi
I recently bought EVGA 750 G2. It has only has 4x 6+2-Pin PCI-E VGA Cables, meaning the cable only has a 6+2-Pin but I have 4 of those cables. But my GTX 780 need 1x 6pin and 1x 8pin, my question is: Is it okay to use 1 cable for the 6 pin connection and 1 cable for the 8 pin connection?

Thanks

I did have a Corsair RM 850 which had 2x 6-2pin+6pin cables, could I use those?
 
Solution
That's what you need. An 8-pin PCI-E power connector on a power supply is almost always a 6+2pin connector so it fits both 6 and 8 pin sockets. So just use one 6+2 pin connector for the 6-pin socket and another for the 8 pin socket.

Usually, The 6+2 means that you can seperate the connector into a 6-pin and a 2 pin connector. Yes, you can use the 6-pin part of that to connect to the GTX780 and use one of the other 6+2 pin connectors to go to the other connector on the GTX780.
