thats the one you want its the exact one i have actualy it works great basicly those 2 conections are extra grounds but i would go with the adappter unless you feel like you wanna mod your PSU. but id go with the adapter. i tried modding my PSU and it worked but not well so the adapteris the way to go

The TX750 has all the connectors you need. It has 4x 6+2 connectors. So you use 1x 6+2 in the 8 pin slot and you just use the 6 pin of another 6+2 in the 6 pin slot leaving the attached 2 in hanging. The connectors are designed to give you the option of 6 or 8 pin connectors, so you have what you need without the purchase of adapters.
