My new PSU only has one 8 pin pcie cable but my gpu requires 2 x 8 pin. Can I safely use a Molex to 8 pin adapter to compensate?

Components are:

Corsair cx450M 450w
GTX 770 msi
Ryzen 5 1600
Gigabyte ab350m gaming 3
2x4gb corsair vengeance 3600

Not really interested in overclocking

No it is not safe to do so. Adapters are generally a poor thing to use since they are forcing a certain rail in your psu to do more than it can do depending on the device connected to it (yours is a 770 and that is dangerous).

Either get a psu that has the cables for it (the cx550 has it or just a seasonic s12II since they are on sale atm).
Or don't use that gpu.

That is an adapter for the cpu power plug on the motherboard.
