The best advice is to NOT use a molex to 6-pin adapter.
If your PSU doesn't have the correct cables to properly power a new graphics card it means you need to upgrade your PSU. Using a molex adapter is often a great way of overtaxing a cheaper PSU and causing damage to your hardware.
Edit: If you aren't in the U.S. I recommend looking at the Tom's PSU Tier List HERE and trying to find a PSU you can afford within tiers 1 or 2. If you are on a very tight budget you can also find a decent model in tier 3.
If you ARE in the U.S., this is a very well-built PSU at a great price that will adeqately power the GTX 1060:
Power Supply: Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $59.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Personally I don't see how someone can spend $200(depending where you are) on a videocard and not also be willing to spend on a decent power supply. Get yourself a quality power supply with at least one 6 pin connector, then choose the best videocard you can with the money you have left. You'll be better off.
