Is it ok to use dual molex to 8 pin adapter on GTX 1070?

[AgedEgg]

I just build my first PC for gaming yesterday and I decided to take gtx 1070 with 550w psu. The thing is my psu doesn't have 8 pin connector, So I decided to put dual molex to 8 pin adapter since it comes with my gpu. Is it safe to do that?

My Specs:
processor: Intel i5 7500
mobo: Biostar b250gt3
ram: Geil evo x 8gb single channel
gpu: Galax GTX 1070 EX
psu: Gamemax Power ATX GP-Series Plus 80+ Bronze

If the PSU does not have the proper cable and connection for your GPU, all the adapters in the world won't make it right.

In addition...I probably wouldn't trust a "Gamemax" to power a desklamp, much less a GPU.
If you can send it back, do that and get something reliable.

^ Absolutely agree. Even if that power supply had the required cables you shouldn't use it. Not having the required cables makes it even worse. Gamemax is low end junk.

I just ask the seller whether I can return the psu or not and still waiting for their reply, but I'm still gonna change the psu anyway is Seasonic S12II-620 good enough?
