I have a PSU Powercool PC-650AUBA-M 650W

I Brought a KFA2 Geforce 760 GPU

However I lost One of the x2 PSCI-E power leads that connect the PSU to the GPU and this GPU needs x2 Power connectors.

I ended up buying a 6 Pin Male To Female PCIE Pci e GPU Power Supply PSU Extension Cable White 20cm.

Which was the wrong lead as the 6 pin connector with pins connects to the GPU but the other part doesn't fit anyway.

So I went and brought Dual 4 Pin Molex IDE to 6 Pin PCI-E Graphic Card Power Adapter Connector Cable.

Now I connected the X2 MOLEX connectors to the LP4 Lead, then tried to connect the 6 pin connector to the GPU however their is a pin missing on the cconnector and doesn't fully connect into the GPU connector.
So i connected The Molex lead to the Extension wire that I mentioned above. That kinda worked for about 2 Hours and then all of a sudden my PC went weird and kept coming up with NO DISPLAY on the screen.
So my question is where can I buy the original PSCI-E lead with a 6x2 Connector and a 6 or 8 pin connector with the same Port at the 6x2 I.E Pointing out Pins on both ends?

Hope you understand this lol
 
Solution
First things first: Never, ever, use a PCIE power connector that was not made by the PSU manufacture; add-on, replacement plugs don't work.
You need to contact Powercool for a replacements power cord.
If you are really lucky, when the screen went weird and gave you the NO Display on the monitor, you didn't destroy your video card. Chances are it is damaged.
Contact Powercool and see if you can get the proper cables.

Don't know your budget, but you might want to consider another powersupply. Check out the list in this link: Powercool PSU's are listed in Tier 5:
Tier Five
Avoid IMMEDIATELY. These units are highly unsafe to use. No such protections added, very thin gauge wiring used, false advertising and too much to list. Reference to...

Reference to a higher tiered unit for a better, money saving and a much safer unit. For your safety's sake, please don't order or pick one up for use in your system. These units are a potential fire hazard and could even kill you, let alone your system.

Solution
Get a new psu. One that has the correct pcie connectors. The problem with adapters is they are not always pinned as what they should be, so grounds and power can be in the wrong slots.

The biggest problem I have with this unit is lack of specifications. Every website I looked at didn't list a single output, but they were sure to mention several times the 2x 6+2 SLI pcie connectors. SLI with just 2 connectors on a very old design @ 650w? And no voltage output specs? That screams shady business.
 
Well Iv'e not had any problems with PSU yet over a year. Using evga geforce 550 ti .. I lost the other PSCI-E cable when i moved house.
And On the Powercool / CPC website they don't have that exact cable
 


Try to make contact with them on Monday by phone. Call tech support or customer service. Talk to someone in person, it always works better.
Let us know what happens.
