6-Pin to 8-Pin PCI-E Adapter GTX 1060 Gigabyte G1

[Yarko1]

Hey there,

I bought an GTX 1060 Gigabyte G1 6 GB to replace my old gpu.

My Current setup is:

Mother board: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming

CPU: Intel i5 4670K 3,40 GHz

RAM: KINGSTON hyperx 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3

GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1060 G1 6GB

PSU: Chieftec gps-500ab a

The problem is that the new gpu requires an 8-pin connection while my current psu has a 2 x 6-pin connector.

So the question is: should I buy 6-pin to 8-pin adapter or buy new psu.

Thanks

No, get a new PSU, yours is complete and utter garbage.

I second that, you have a nice rig, why skimp on the PSU?
