Can I run Msi Gtx 970 without the PSU's 6+2 pin cable?I want to run it with the PSU's 8 pin cable in one socket of the GPU and keep the other one empty by not inserting the PSU's 6+2 pin cable. Will my GPU run fine if I do this ?

No, you shouldn't. You need both slots plugged in to fully use the GTX 970.
