Hey,
I'm assembling a secondary system consisting of old parts from family members. We have a Asus Radeon HD 5770 (I can't remember the exact model) that has a 8-pin power connector and a 6-pin power connector. The PSU only has 2 6-pin power connectors. Is it a good idea to try it with the 2 6-pin power connectors despite one of the graphics card's connectors having two additional pins? The HD 5770 takes relatively little power IIRC, I'm wondering why it even has so many power connectors.
The PSU in question is a "Modecom Premium 500W". Sounds shady, but it was bought in 2010 and it has run a system fine for 4½ years.
