GPU Power Cables

Quick question,

I have a Graphics Card that requires 2x8pin power cables and comes with 2xPCI to Molex cables. Is it necessary to use the pci to molex cables and then connect them to molex cables coming from the PSU or can I just use normal 8pin PCIe cables coming from the PSU straight into the graphics card?

Pretty sure the answer is the latter but would like to check and put my mind at ease

I'd use the the 8-pin from the PSU. That's what they are there for, after all.

The molex cables are supplied for people who don't have the neccessary pci-e leads on their psu. If you have the required pci-e leads on your psu use them.
