You don't have any choice 

you need a 6 pin coming from your PSU

Don't use adapters. DO NOT.

The fact that it doesn't have the connectors natively, means that there's not enough power. Once a PSU goes, it can easily take other components with it. Just get a new PSU with the right connectors.

What PSU do you have?

What GPU do you have?

Don't cheap out on PSU, it's the heartbeat of your system. What's your GPU?

750ti or lower.

 

then again, if your psu doesnt have a pci-e connector i REALLY dont want to recommend anything unless i know exactly whats going on, because some OEM boxes literally cannot handle the 80 extra watts.

seems like you really need a psu (and probably also cpu&mobo) upgrade.

Since you GPU is a low power consumption one, it could be just fine if you get a 2x Molex to 6-Pin adapter. However it's not recommended at all.

Save up for a newer PSU, you don't want to buy a Molex to 6pin adapter for couple bucks then fry your GPU. Will cause you more head ache down the road, get a good PSU abou 500-550W on a T1 or T2 list.

Here's a good list of PSU ratings.

Look up the specs of your PSU. If it is capable of supplying its full power on a single 12V rail, you ought to be fine with Molex-to-6pin adapters. It's not the most elegant solution, nor is it (as you'll be able to tell from this thread) something that grants you the sympathy of fellow techies, but it ought to at least work.

 

If you can afford a new PSU though, just go down that route. It's less hassle, less risk, and if you go for one with rather more wattage than you need, you can make it be reasonably future-proof as well.
