You need the cable compatible with that particular model of power supply. This can vary between different models from the same brand.

See Corsairs Cable Compatibility chart. https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/psu-cable-compatibility

You need a cable for your particular model of power supply.

Go to cablemod.com and select your specific model of corsair power supply and then buy cables.

 

For that gtx 1060 considering the low power consumption (around 100-120 watts), you could use a 2 x molex -> pci-e 6+2 adapter cable to power the card. Not as good as actual cable, but can be much cheaper
