Nope, please get a compatible and a HIGH quality PSU. That PSU lacks an 8-pin PCIe cable for the RX 6600 card. You shouldn't use a 6-PIN connector, or any MOLEX adapter to power the card. It's not generally recommended.

Please grab a high quality power supply unit as well, which has sufficient PCIe connectors to power any modern GPU. I would actually avoid that DEEPCOOL brand if need be. Also, which exact brand and MODEL number of the RX 6600 will you purchase ?

If already purchased. then kindly provide details of the GPU.

Alright, if those are the only two PSU models which is under your budget, then there shouldn't be a problem powering up the RX 6600 GPU. Assuming that PSU tier list is accurate and up-to-date (should be obviously, since it's a pinned thread), you can upgrade your current PSU.

Though, grabbing one of the "normal priority units", or even Tier A models, might be a much better idea, IMO. Since PSU is the most important component of the PC, so we shouldn't skimp on the quality/build.

That DEEPCOOL model is actually better than the ASUS Bronze SKU. But in this budget, 100USD, you can get other decent quality branded PSUs as well.

Your Gigabyte PSU is old and bad. You have to replace it.

asus tuf bronze 550w

It's fine for your needs and the price is good.

DEEPCOOL DQ650-M-V2L PLUS GOLD

To expensive.
