I've got a 6 GPU setup going on a 1000 GQ, which only ships with enough VGA cables to connec tup 5 GPU's. Two of the VGA cables are 4-pin only, which means I need to burn both of those on a single card (AMD rx 5080). That means I'm one cable short (waaahh....wahhh). Does anyone have a recommendation on where to pick up a single VGA (split 4-pin and 3-pin) cable? I've seen the "packs" available for sale on EVGA's site, but paying $80 for a cable seems a bit silly - could buy a new PSU for that amount. 
 
Thanks!

    4-pin GPU? 3-pin GPU? What? I am so confused. PCI-E Auxilary graphics card connectors are either 6 pin or 8 pin.

    I'm such an idiot - apologies, that was waaaay past my usual check-out time! 
     
    Yes, it's an 8-pin and 6-pin connector - I literally counted the leads on one side and didn't multiply by 2. #facepalm. Late night debugging isn't my specialty.

    All set - found some on the "big giant company that will take over the world" for $13.
