6pin pcie from sata and molex

Hello,
I have chieftec gps-500a8 psu

http://www.chieftec.eu/en/psus/smart-series/gps-500a8.html

 

The problem is that it has only one 6pin connector, and I need to power gtx 260 (or gtx460 in the future). (2x 6pin needed)

I want to use 2 molex to 6pin adapter, but the PSU has only 2 molex on the same rail. 

Basically PSU has 2 branches of cables:
===[sATA]===[sATA]===[sATA]
and
===[Molex]===[Molex]===[Floppy]



So my plan was to use one molex from second branch, and convert one sata from first branch to molex (via adapter, http://media.eponuda.com/racunari_adapteri/ningbo/649095_l.jpg )
And then use 2 molex (one from each branch) to 6pin adapter.

Or just use 2 molex from same branch.
 

But maybe there isn't enough amps in sata branch, I don't really know.

Btw: I'm probably mixing rails with branches, I thought that one rail = one branch of wires.

you could buy a better quality PSU with less risk of exploding and have more PCIe connectors for less than $40
