i am going to get a new gtx 1060 but my 550w psu doesnt have a 6 pin power connector just 1 molex ,so is it safe to put a molex splitter so i have multiple molex and then put a molex to 6pin power connector to the gtx 1060

I always turn to seasonic personally, have a look at what scan.co.uk are selling, or ebuyer.com (both good sites here in the UK), I wouldn't touch aria again if that is one of their own brand PSU's, i've actually raised the question with them of why they call it a 550W PSU and look forward to their answer if they decide to give me one.

That "550w" is simply a label on a crappy PSU.

You need to buy a good PSU of sufficient size, with the right connectors.
