Do I need to swap out my flat cables from my 650 GQ PSU when I install a Supernova 850 P2?

I currently have a 650 GQ PSU using the flat cables that came with it.   I just purchased a Supernova 850 P2, and notice that it has round cables.
 
Can I just unplug the flat cables from the 650, slide in the 850, and use those same cables, or do I need to unplug and replace all of the flat cables with the round cables that come with the 850?  It will be *so* much faster if I can re-use the existing cables. 
 
Also, if I am good to re-use cables, can I mix in one round cable?  I'll need one more 8-pin for a new video card (3 total for the 3080ti) .  I may have another 8-pin flat cable - I'll need to dig through my closet to find the box.  :)

    Yes, you'll need to change the cables out.
