You've been misinformed. You need 2 8 pin PCIe connectors. The card has a TDP of 250W iinm(edit: System Requirements
Power consumption: 250W
Recommended PSU: 600W
Power Connector
2 x 8-Pin). It receives up to 75W from the PCIe slot 150W from each 8 pin connector. Without both connectors the card will not work.

Your PSU has the necessary connectors.

The performance increase going from a 970 FTW from EVGA to an EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid is huge. I remember I was starting to struggle to maintain 60FPS. I had been having to reduce settings. MSI AB now tells me over to over 200 FPS in the same games. Some are oddly sticking to 62FPS but my TV is 60Hz so I'm not really worried but I'll check into it.

For the PSU I chose https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151118.

Your PSU is modular, so the cables might be not on the unit itself, but instead they may be in the box - assuming you still have it.

You don't need to order anything. That PSU has everything you need. There are 2 x 6+2 pin PCIe cables. Those are the cables you need.
