[Jrdsmith3012]

Charlie putting together a computer I bought all the parts through PC parts picker no issues which components other than I am missing a connector from the power supply to the graphic card which is 6 prongs. I have cables from older power supply not sure which one to use if any are compatible.

DON'T use a cable from another PSU that wasn't designed for this unit. You're risking damaging your PSU and graphics card, if not worse. not even kidding.

what PSU and what Video Card do you have?

your PSU should have a single 6+2pin PCIe cable. just use the 6pins and let the 2pin next to it unconnected

I found out that it didnt come with those parts! I have contacted the seller to try and get the parts. However in the event I cant get the parts, should I just buy a whole new power supply?

You could contact the manufacturer to see if they can provide the missing cable.
