The exact model would be helpful most GPU cables are now 6+2 so you can use for either 6 or 8 pin cards. As for “female“ cables while most designs are similar only Rosewills own cables should be used.

There's something wrong with your keyboard, it seems to be stuck with large bold text that makes it appear you are yelling.

PSU model would help. Exact GPU model would help. Checking your PSU to see if it already has the connectors would help.

You should be able to get a cable that goes from the power supply to a component (like a video card) from the power supply manufacturer.
Such cables are not usually sold separately because each power supply mostly come with an adequate amount of cables.
The cables are also not standartized, this means that different power supplies (even from the same manufacturer) may use cables that are not interchangable. Do not try to use cables that you are not sure will work with your power supply.
