the only thing that come with my card is 2 head 6pin to 8 pin head. can i just connect my 1 6pin only then connect the 8pin to gpu?

Nope. Both ends have to plug in. You will need something like this:

3-5-dual-molex-male-to-single-6-pin-pcie

If your card came with a molex connector, you can try and use that and use peripheral power.

Ain't going to work bud. Either you need to get a better PSU or a lower end GPU. (Or a molex adapter)

There are 6 to 8 pin adapters or use the molex that comes with the card.

Nope. Both ends have to plug in. You will need something like this:

3-5-dual-molex-male-to-single-6-pin-pcie
