A whole bunch of those 700 series card need 14 pins.

a lot of cards use 12 pins, some use 14, and even a few use 16. I've built rigs with two cards that used 16 (two 8 pins) and my own has 12, and quite a few nvidia higher ups run 14. I've also used one that ran off 24 pins.. I really wish I actually owned that one. 525 watts of pure gaming performance.

I purchased it from Aria, we also have Ebuyer, amazon etc. That link looks good but Im just checking to make sure Im not certain. It has everything I believe but the 4pin for the motherboard? This is what im using Motherboard

A splitter cable like that has nothing wrong with it in terms of ruining hardware, at least not a decent one. However it does decrease power efficiency by adding another length of cable which is why some people say to avoid it. Others because a power supply could balance improperly when running such wattage off of molex.
You should be fine running that connector if you already have a PSU you're set on using. Otherwise buy another PSU and save time and energy (literally saving power).

You are kinda lucky 'cause my father fried his PSU 2 weeks ago and we did some research.
Here some cheapish-but-good models:
They're all solid and they all have the connectors you required.

I see you are particularly worried about the 4-pin connector for the MB. Most recent PSUs have a 4+4 pin connector, meaning it's 2 cables running along, so you can use either 4 or 8, depending on your MB.
Similarly for the GPU you'll often see "6/8 pin" (or "6+2 pin") connector.

Ok so I purchased a GTX 770 yesterday, it will be arriving tomorrow, however I do not have the required cables to power this. it needs a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin. My motherboard also needs a 4 pin. I have ordered a 2x Molex to 6+2 adaptor but people are saying its best to not use, Obviously having spent so much on a GPU I would rather not go blowing it up first day. I have been looking everywhere for a PSU that has all this but after so many hours of looking I am still coming up empty handed. If anyone could share some light on what to buy I would be forever grateful. Thanks :)
I feel I should add I am in the UK :( Thanks for the links though I appreciate your time and effort
