Hi everyone ;

my PSU Only have one 6 pin connector? (GTX 1060 requires an 8-pin)

It's safe to use a adapter like this :

Yeah it's safe. Although if you want to be super safe, buy an adapter which has reviews. Doubt it would cause any problems but there is the slightest chance it could be dodgy and damage something.
