So I heard the 4870 needs to PCIE cables. I looked inside my case and I have a PCIE - 2 cable hooked up to my GTS. And in the bundle of PSU cables I found one almost identical but says PCIE - 1

Will this be the second cable I use? The new card isn't here yet. And I couldn't find any other cables that are similar.

Yessir, you just have no more plugs for a second GPU.

pcie-2 and 1 means cable 1 and 2 nothing more. So if both are pci-e 6pin then yes, use that.

don't worry about using a molex to PCIe adapter. I use one to power my 4th GPU in my server

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Depends on what the PSU is at the moment, if it can take a 4870.

It shouldn't be a problem, seeing as Sapphire included 2 of them with mine.
