My peasant build has been gifted a graphics card - 2gb GTX660 Having recently moved house I seem to have discarded all the spare cables for my modular PSU - Corsair CX430 The PSU has an 8 pin PCI-e socket. The GPU has a 6 pin socket. Could somebody kindly point me towards the cable that would link them up, please?

*AFAIK You can use the 8-pin cable in a 6-pin socket, just don't force it - it will fit in 1 way only.
