I have a Gigabyte GTX 960 gpu but I only got one 6pin to molex connector. My PSU is a cheap one, I know it, but can I connect my card with only 1 cable?

Here is a picture. I have that cable which is in the 6pin slot on the right side, If I connect it to the white ended ones which comes out from the PSU will it run, or do I need another 6pin to molex cable? I used my card for over a year without a problem, this card is a replaced one with RMA. I'm planning to buy a new PSU, to don't kill my pc, but until then, how can I solve this?
 
Solution
No, you need both the two 6 pins pcie slots plugged in from your power supply.
Best option would be to get a better power supply than the one you have right now.
You most likely can't boot the system with only one 6 pin plugged in.
Using another 6 pin- molex cable is not a viable solution .
