Not enough cables for SLI?

[littleman00]

I'm going to try an SLI setup for the first time using two ASUS GTX560's. They both have two 6-pin PCI-e connectors, meaning I'd need a total of four 6-pin PCI-e cables. My power supply only came with one 8-pin-to-6-pin cable and one 8-pin-to-6+2-pin cable. Basically, there's enough cables and connectors on the PSU for one card, even though it says it's SLI-ready.

My question is, what kind of cables do I need to connect two GTX560's to my PSU? I bought a cable that was a splitter of sorts -- it went from an 8-pin connector to two 6-pin connectors, BUT the 8-pin part of the cable would not fit in the 8-pin slot on my PSU.

PSU: OCZ ModXStream 700w
GPU: ASUS GTX560

Do you have the cards in hand? Often times they come with the required adapters. Do you have any free Molex connections on your PSU? This is by far the most common type of 6-pin adapter:

Yeah, the cards came with those adapters, but I'm not sure if I have any free molex connections. The way my case is built, it wants all the power cables running along one side of it (presumably to improve airflow), so I'll have to open both sides of the case and take a look when I get a chance.
