Not enough power connectors

So I was planning on SLI'ing two EVGA GTX 1080 FTW's... Looks like that won't happen, because the PSU I have (EVGA 850 B2) only has two 8 pin power connectors and I would need four. Any ideas on what I can do? I'm buying a new PSU if I can't find a solution, thanks for feedback

Would 6 pins work? I don't want to risk anything

 

This is the layout by the way:

no 6pins would not work but your psu HAS 4x8pin. you just have to plug the cables in. (PSU layout isnt the same as cables really are)

Yup. Each one of those VGA spots have 2x8pin cables

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
