so like, I need to power a gtx 970, which needs 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin pcie cable. anyway 

I don't have the original cables my PSU came with (Lost them during a move, somehow) and like, when i'm looking for it online, i cant see any?

I'm just getting adapters and shit, like, where the hell can i just buy regular pcie cables?

Unfortunately there are no "regular PCIe cables", but you can tell us the model of your power supply and hopefully we could think of something. Also, you can ask the manufacturer if replacement cables are available.

Your best option would be to contact the manufacture or to buy replacement modular sleeved cables that is specific for your PSU. You cannot mix and match any PCI-E power cable as each PSU manufacture has their own pinout and standard they use on the PSU side. Can you provide the PSU that will give us a starting point.

Nobody can help you if they don't even know what PSU you're wanting cables for.
