I'm aware that the gigabyte gtx 960 uses two connectors, my psu has one 8 pin and one 6 pin that I have a molex adapter for. Will I run into any issues using this gpu with my current power supply?

Remember quality is more important than wattage. Check out the PSU Tier List link in my signature for more :)
