Easiest fix would be using this kind of adapter,

Thanks, do I just remove the lead from the m/b then?

I take that from your PSU, there goes two power cables to your MoBo, a 20/24-pin and a 6-pin. The 6-pin is used to power the CPU. Don't unplug it.

Just replace your GTX 560 Ti with GTX 950 and use old GPU 6-pin power cable with 6-pin to 8-pin adapter to connect the power cable to your new GTX 950.

560ti has 1 6pin and 1 3pin connected up.

Do I put 6to8 converter and just remove th 3pin

The old cable that went to the motherboard was for audio if your monitor had speakers. Modern GPU's don't need this.

Yes, that would be the best thing to do.
