I have installed a new Seasonic 750 Watt Gold Power supply. This
computer has a Radon HD video card with a SIX port female plug. The
only six port plugs I see in my new PS box plug into the power
supply and are used for hard drives.
So can I just remove two of the 8 port male plugs to make it a six
port so it fits in my video card? I would just cut off two of the
plugs with my Dremal.
Thanks <w>

No, don't do that you risk damaging your video card, PS, or entire
system. You should have a 6+2 PIN PCIe power cable, see
https://seasonic.com/focus-plus-gold/#cables for examples from Seasonic
and use the exact cables that came with the PS. Don't take a cable from
another PS and use it - there are no standards for the layout so it may
work but be miswired (even different models from the same brand are
different).

Actually, in my new Seasonic they do not include it in the modular
plugs. I am guessing they decided nobody is using that old video
cards so why bother including it. However, it occurred to me that
I have bought three of these in the last five years and I still have
all the modular plugs that came with those PS. My older Gold
Seasonic had one that I could plug into my new one so problem
solved! Thanks for the reply. <w>
