I highly recommended not using a fire hazard adapter in your system.

I agree. Using an adapter to force your PSU to power something it wasn't designed to power is just asking for trouble. My 450W PSU has two 6+2pin plugs on it. If your PSU honestly lacks any PCIe plugs it's time for an upgrade. Forcing it to power that card is not a good idea.
