4 pin molex to 6 pin pcie adapter?

Are these adapters safe to use? I've come across a scenario where my psu has a 6+2 pin pcie, but my graphics card has two 6 pin pcie. If not, are there any other ways to solve this problem?

I would suggest getting a psu that has the correct amount to connectors. But depending on what exact power supply you have, it may be possible to use the molex to 6pin adapter.

That card requires a 500W PSU. The PSU you have listed is only 430W.

If you get the 500W version of that PSU it has the correct number of PCI-e connectors on it.

Definitely upgrade your psu to a 500 watt or even 550 watt so you could upgrade video card later if you so wish.

My power supply is the Thermaltake SP-650P. Non-modular, cheap (about $50), and it still has 6+2 PCIE cables.
