I want to get the MSI GTX 1060 but my PSU only has two 6 cables?

700 watts It only comes with two 6 pin cables (for my two cards). Can't I just plug one six pin into it or use an adapter?. Do the latest gpus come with their own cables?

It needs a minimum 400W PSU with a 6-pin pcie connector.
Just go for it!

Wait what is your question exactly? What two cards do you have? Are you adding a third? What adapter are speaking of?

No, GPU's do not come with their own cables. According to your link, your PSU has 2x 6 pins and 2x 6+2 pins. So you should have two 6 pins and two 8 pins.


"The cabling included is as follows:
...
2x 6 pin 12V PCIe connectors
2x 6+2 pin 12V PCIe connectors
..."

Card will not come with any power cables.
That PSU should have (2) 4 pin connections that are intended for 8 pin GPU's, based on the one photo here: http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=39&type=photo

(third pic on second row)

Could also be a 6+2 pin as iyzik said, hard to tell from the pic.

You PSU has 2 X 6 pins plus 2x 6+2 pin 12V PCIe connectors. Basically the 2x 6+2 pin can be used as 2 x 8 pin thus your PSU can work with any video card hooking up wise.

More than enough power to run a 1060 more than enough PCIE cables 2 - 6+2 , your all set.

Two cards?

I opened up my case just to double check. Thanks. Just to double check, it is compatible with my system?

OS:W7
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3901#ov
Memory: 8192MB RAM
GPU: GTX 550Ti (sli)

this is the gpu I want

I'm going to upgrade the ram as well

 

[CyberDevil]

No need to upgrade the RAM though. And yes, it is compatible with your system assuming you're going to take those 550Tis out and use the GTX 1060

Yea, I'm going to replace them with the 1060 and upgrade my os to windows 10 as well. Other people have said that my cpu is not that great for the latest games.

Yup the 1060 is totally compatible with your system.
