Hi i have a RM550x PSU i have a GTX 1070 FTW this is going to be my first build so the 1070 needs two 8 pin connections but the psu comes with 2x 6+2 PCIE cables but only has one dedicated 6+2 PCIE next to the 4+4 CPU connection and under that it has a 10 Pin connection that is not being used because it doesnt bring a cable that has a 10 pin connection on it so im wondering if it would be ok to plug in my second PCIE on that connection

PS: i made out the whole build on PCPARTPICKER and it did not give me no error or compatibility issues and also on newegg all the reviews were fine when it comes to 1070's and 1080's
 
Solution
The Corsair RM550x has a single PCI-E modular cable that has two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors daisy chained on it.
