Very interesting link.
The combined 12V output is then 260W, which in theory would leave 210W left on the OP PSU (according to the newegg link).
But I disagree with the 8/6-pin output power. On newer HX(5/6)20 they included the 8-pin connectors as standard, while mine only have the two original 6-pins. But the output power hasn't changed. The 75W/150W statement on the 6/8 pins are minimum/recommended/whatever requirements (from what I've read, IDK). At least on my PSU the PCI-e connectors exceeds both requirements.
But yes, in essence a PSU with 8-pin connectors should be used when the grafic card requires it. If one would want a 6 -> 8 converter it would require a little homework of how powerful the supply really is.
