For that one single card, it should be fine. The only difference between 6, 6+2 or 8 is the additional +2 pins are grounds... to prevent any potential overheating. The 6, 6+2 or 8 can, in actuality, all deliver the same power even though the standards have two different ratings... it's all based around the additional 2 GND wires.
As an aside, on my Enermax, there's 12-pins on the PSU end and the PCIE PEG end is a 2x 6+2. So obviously if there were an issue, it would be at the input side, not the output. Rest assured, you'll be fine.
