A standard GTX 1060 card is rated at 120W, so most have a 6-pin connector.
Your card is overclocked and comes with an 8-pin connector, which would only be necessary if it is drawing more than 150W.

When I previously said never use an adapter, I meant a molex to PCI-E adapter. If your supply has 2 x 6-pin PCI-E connectors but no 8-pin PCI-E connector, it is ok to use the adapter you have linked.

Never use the adapters. If the supply does not have 6-pin or 8-pin PCI-E power connectors, it was not designed for graphics cards that draw over 75W.

Your power supply is rated at 385W on the +12V rails. It is split into 3 rails, but this should be OK as long the PCI-E power connectors are provided with power supply. The minimum for a system with this CPU and graphics card is around 340W.

Ahh Ok, yea the adapter is 6 pin to 8-pin, so I guess I’ll use it. Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving!
