I got a 1660 (8 pins) , but when i got home for my panic the box didn't include the power cable, i got to a lot o places looking for it, im sure my PCU has both a 8 pin and a 6 pin connection, but my i don't have any cables to connect, i looked ob the Internet and i don't find anything related to that. Please help me at least understand what im doing, im sure my power supply can hold my graphics card since its a 500W 80plus white. 

 

I'm linking some images, so if someone can help with that I'll be very grateful.

The proper cables won't come with the GPU. The cables always come with the PSU. What happened to those two cables that came with the PSU? Or did you buy it used?

My PSU is 6 years old and the cables that prob came with it are either stashed in my parents house far away or missing.

Well. There are Molex to 6/8-pin cables but you really shouldn't use them even though your card here is only ~120W. You'll have to source replacement cables. You may be able to contact the PSU manufacturer and get replacements.

 

Your other option is to upgrade the PSU. If you have it in your budget. 6 years isn't a bad time to get a new one.

I would like to avoid spending more, since this GPU in my region was really expensive, so i'm really tight on money, but looks like i don't have any other solution.
