Regarding risers and PSU cables

Hi,

I'm going to order 8 or so risers (will only use 6 GPU's but wanted two extra spares just in case) but I'm not quite sure what to pick. I've also got a question for you experienced miners regarding PSU cables for the risers. So here goes.

Should I order risers with 6-pin connectors? If so, can I power 1 GPU and 1 riser with the same cable from the PSU? If not, then the cables on the PSU won't be enough.

Or should I order risers with molex connectors? If so, can I power two risers with one cable from the PSU? Also, the EVGA G2 1300 that I've purchased only have two cables with molex, would it be possible to take another one from my EVGA G2 750 that I'm not using? I'm assuming it's the same cables. Can I plug the third molex cable (on the PSU side) into one of the ones that are supposed to be for the sata cables (there are only two peripheral slots on the PSU)?

Thank you!
