Hey does anyone know a place in lebanon that sells those kind of cables standalone? pcandparts dont have them on their website.
Also if anyone have spare ones that i can buy pm me please. I only need 2.
Thanks

Regular computer stores should have them. They regularly come with the graphics card. But if your power supply doesn't have a stand alone 8-pin connector, it might mean it's generic(Chinese crap) I wouldn't dare! To run a graphics card on such power supply. I would get a decent 80Plus certified power supply, that already has an 8 pin connector.
Be warned, using Chinese power supplies WILL slowly kill your hardware, cause nothing but problems and eventually blow up and cause injury to you. Have a quick Google search about cheap power supplies.
Also note that, your CPU, Motherboard, and every other component slow themselves down, in order to conserve power and not blow up. Try to run BF3 for more than 3 hours and see if the PC doesn't blow up or power up again.
NEVER GO CHEAP ON A POWER SUPPLY!

Mate i have cooler master 80 plus silver 1000w psu and it came with 2 8pin connectors only but i need 2 more for my graphic cards.
Now the cards came with molex to 8pin connectors but they're too short to reach the psu so i need to make it longer in order to reach it.

too short? the molex connectors on any psu will at least reach the optical drive bay so with the extension of the adapter am sure you have plenty of length left.

Alright thanks, I'll just get 4pin molex since it is easier to find.
