I have an older psu (earthwatts ea-500d) It's been solid and I'm not looking to replace it, but it has a 2 x6pin output. It's powering a 750 ti ftw card, which takes a 6pin. That card is showing it's age, so I'm looking at upgrading to a gtx 1660 (1080p gaming). The card needs an 8pin though...

I was planning to leave the psu that comes with the sonata case in- the eathwatts 500w. I don't plan to sli or add additional harddrives or other components. Is this psu going to have trouble? Do I need a p45 mobo? or is there a less expensive p35 that would do the trick I'll check out that...
