Can i use a Molex 4 pin to pcie 6 pin adapter safely?

[matt16060]

I plan on getting an AMD R9 280X but my PSu only has a 6+2 pin PCIE cable. Would it be safe to use the molex adapter for the 6 pin PCIE i would need? The info on the side of my PSU is in this link: http://s21.postimg.org/czk8lkrxj/IMG_0570.jpg

Hmmm that is a really crappy PSU that barely delivers 550W. However that is enough. It should work just fine, but I would not trust that PSU at all.

Are there any significant risks? i will upgrade my psu but cant afford it at the moment.

Short term, no, not really, if its lasted this long you may as well keep using it until you can afford another.

Do not worry about it toooo much.
