I thought the RX 480 cards were big too .... until I saw a GTX 1080 Ti card!
The trick with the RX480 I found, is to lower the GPU speed by about 15-20%. At around that speed, the power consumption drops by about 50W with very little impact on performance.

That's precisely what I did with the first dual PSU rig I built, although on high-end PSUs generally all wires are black so you have to work from the pin numbers instead. I prefer pluggable solutions though and it's easier/cheaper to buy an adaptor than to source and make plugs.
