I've just bought a 1080 gtx gpu and it requires an 8 pin pci-e cable which I threw away from my modular psu as I didn't need it at the time so I'm looking at buying one for this gpu but the connections don't seem to match up when I look at pictures of them online with the gpu's socket but they do match with my psu why is this?

8-pin pci-e cables are standardized on the device side, not PSU side. That means you have difference in pinout from manufacturer t manufacturer. Best bet is to keep your cables in the future, but If you really need the cables try buying ones that are from the same manufacturer/model.
Also go to /pcbg/ next time.

took old 24pin atx plug and cut it to make my own
bottom is 12v positive, top is 12v ground.
