So I've been recently been looking at getting the new nivdia Gtx 1070 however, my power supply doesn't have any of the pin connectors (or whatever you call them) it's a 550w power supply will it be ok to order adapters from molexes to 6 pin to 8 pin. I don't want anything blowing up

my psu doesnt have 2 8 pin connectors to power both my CPUs in my dual xeon rig so i bought an adapter and nothing blew up
