My power supply don't have a 6pin pcie connector for my gtx960 I was wonder if I could get a molex to 6pin to fix that?

Perfectly fine. Although make sure you have the wattage to support the card. 

 

It would be preferable to upgrade the PSU to one with the appropriate connectors though.

A dual Molex to 6 pin PCI-e is fine but only if your PSU has a strong enough +12 volt rail to handle the card. To be perfectly honest I really don't recommend this but it will work but if your PSU doesn't have one odds are it's either old, cheap or not powerful enough.

 

Consider buying a PSU with a few 6 pin PCI-e connectors if you can afford it if you can't just check your PSU's +12 volt rail and see if it's powerful enough.

Not 6pinn I think the windfore gtx 960 need a 6pinn if I am right

The specs claim:

1 x 24 Pin ATX

1 x 4+4 Pin EPS12V

1 x 6+2 Pin PCI-E

4 x SATA

1 x Molex

So look for a thing that looks like an 8 pin PCI-e that has a little thing with two on it that splits off.

dc7f4035fd7cd3a47f8d36511141023e.pnglook for this connector. It functions as a 8 pin PCI-E cable and a 6 pin PCI-E cable (not at the same time though) It is called a 6 + 2 connector.
