@orbitalwalsh

It's a Coolermaster Silent Pro 700w. Looks like I need male to male (the PSU has two PCIe power ports).

none in the box.... did you buy it brand new as should be in there, would be contacting cooler master asap! if second hand then bit of an issue

looking at the webpage
http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/enthusiast-silent-pro-gold/silent-pro-gold-700w/

should have had 3 x 6 pcie male to male or 3 x 6+2 pcie male to male

looking at the unit, mobo and cpu cables are hard wired then sata/pcie/perip all separate

not fancy but, or you can get 4 pin to 6 pin/ sata to 6 pin converters

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Akasa PCI Express 6-Pin to 4-Pin Power Adaptor for PCI-E Graphics Cards (AK-CB4-6)= £3.29

Total: £11.99
(includes shipping: £8.70)

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x EVGA 430W 80 Plus Power Supply (100-W1-0430-K3)= £38.99

Total: £49.49
(includes shipping: £10.50)

would get the adapter as your PSU is a solid unit

Surely I don't need a new PSU?

sorry, linked in converter afterwards
- I've never bought a PSU second hand, thought is unnerving to me lol

It's 6-pin to 6-pin I need. Coolermaster don't seem to sell them.

as other members stating , you can't unless you contact cooler master for a product thats end of life- your going to a converter

But what am I converting? Again, a tad confused! Sorry

Be careful that the PSU will have enough extra to power the card. if you dont have a 6 pin PCIe on the power supply it may be a sign that its a bit underpowered.

FYI the 1050TI doesnt need any external power, so if you need to return the 1060 have a look at one of them. it should give you all the power you need for 1080p

your converting cables that power either sata devices like SSD or 4 pin molex to 6 Pin PCIe to power your GPU. your unit is quite strong so will be ok- not ideal solution but will work

thats assuming you have another sata or molex 4 pin cable ? personally wouldn't use the one connected to your drives but use another one just connected to the PCIe converter
