Budget (including currency): Irrelevant to my question, don't worry about it.

Volt usage from country: 220V - 50 Hz

 

I got an MSI RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X OC that im planning to install for my build. Problem is, my current PSU has a PCI-E connector of 6 pins, and a 4+4 pin connector for my CPU. The 6-pin male connector isn't compatible to the 8-pin female connector of the RTX 3060 (obviously), so what i'm planning is that instead of buying a new PSU, i could buy a much cheaper (when compared) cable adapter that goes from my PSU's 4+4 (8-pin) male PCI-E connector (that's currently on my CPU), to 2 separate connectors of 6+2 (8-pin) male PCI-E connectors, one would go to the CPU, and the other to my GPU.

 

My question is if this is safe, or a good idea in the first place. Will everything work smoothly without problems? I'm sharing images of the adapter i just described, brand is Nisuta, model NSAD828M. Longevity of 20cm, copper cables of 18 AWG (16 x 0.14mm), online shop describes it ideal for crypto mining.

 

I personally think 650W of power should be enough to feed my build no problem. So my only worry is about the adapter.

 

Current build:

Motherboard: B450 Aorus Elite (Ask for revision if needed)

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: GTX 660

PSU: LNZ LX650-FC (650W)

Got x2 DDR4 8 GBs of RAM, and a simple SSD drive of 240 GBs. Both Kingston.
