Hello there ive got a sligjt problem, my graphics card has 2 6 pins on it but with my modular cables i now have an 8 pin and a 6 pin. IS there any sort of adapter i could convert the 8 into a 6 pin or 6+2?

The one with 2 fours stuck together is the CPU power cable, it isn't for the graphics card.

Normally the PCI-E cables are labled on the black connector. They might not be but you'll be looking for another one similar to the 6 pin you've identified with 2 pins branching off or you'll need to consider some form of adapter if your PSU doesn't have the necessary connections.

If it's a cheap PSU now might be the time to consider upgrading.
 
Well as they're modular I would look in the box that the PSU came with... According to Corsair's website that model of PSU comes with 6 PCI-E cables.
 
Cant seem to find them, only the 1 6 pin 1 8 pin, molex and sata, any suggestions what to do? Do oc sell cables for modular psus?
 
I don't think so. They sell extensions only from what I can tell.

You can buy a molex -> 6 pin cable or your second graphics card may have come with one.
