Looks like a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter. It goes from the PSU to the GPU. You need to plug in two of those into the GPU.

You don't need any of them if your power supply has 2 8-pin pci-e power connectors ( or 2 6+2 connectors).

your PSU has four 8 pin plugs

 

check your cabling and you should have 8 pin plugs
