Hello! I do believe that you can purchase molex to GPU 8 pin connector cables on retailers like Amazon and alike for rather cheap:

 

[ebay links are not allowed]

 

If you find one then don't put anything else on that molex or any molexs on the same overall cable. 

 

 

That at is a long link, sorry xD one had not realised

get a better power supply. If it doenst have the necessary connectors for the card, that usually shows it cant handle the card
