[SOLVED] Can i use 2, 6+2 PCIe connectors on a GPU that needs 2, 8 pin PCIe connectors?

Hello there i am buying a
XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB THICC III Ultra Video Card
for my new build and it says that it requires 2 8 pin PCIe and i was wondering if it is safe to use 2, 6+2 PCIe's on it instead as my PSU comes with 4 6+2 PCIe's

(SeaSonic FOCUS 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply)

Thank you.

and if interested this is the link to my build titled AMD build (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/NeonFlames/saved/#view=ykbYgs )
for reference

Yes 6+2 are perfectly acceptable to use as either 6 or 8 pin PCIe cables.

thank you, 1 last question, what if it has one 8pin PCIe slot and one 6 Pin PCIe slot

Just leave the +2 hanging off, they can be used as either cable at the same time.
