You could also just buy a sata to 8-pin adapter and use that....

I recently purchased a EVGA GTX 960 ssc that requires a 8 pin PCIe connector. I later realized that my power supply has an 8 pin CPU power connector but not an 8 pin PCIe connector. I have two free SATA connectors and I was wondering if there are any negative effects of doing this: converting the 2 SATA to a single 6 pin PCIe and taking that 6 pin, combining it with a 6 pin coming straight from the PSU and converting the 6 pins to a single 8 pin connector for my GPU. This is my first time doing this so I don't want to mess it up.

Thanks,
