Can you post the PSU model?

From what you've posted it doesn't have an 8 pin power connector and adapting molex connectors to 6/8 pin is really sketchy. Only from the listed connectors it looks like a really crappy power supply that I wouldn't even try to place near a RX 580.

Yeah,I know it is a not good psu but I wanted to know if it really necessary to change my power supply.Here is my psu:

It is okay to change my psu in FSP Hexa + 500W ?

Yeah... it's a really crappy PSU with only 17A on the 12V rail and you should change it.

Can you provide a budget and the website you're buying from so I can recommend you something better.
That FSP unit is okay-ish.

I don't know,I am from Romania and here the prices are pretty high.I think 50-100 dollars.In Romania 50 dollars means approximately 150 dollars.

I'd go for the Corsair CX 550/650(the newer version with the grey label). If your budget is tighter you can go for an older model like the Seasonic S12II 520/620.

Can you give me more, please?They are pretty expensive in my country ) and I can't afford them right now

You can use the FSP if there's no other alternative.

You definitely can't use the one you have now. Even if the insides weren't hot garbage and you didn't have to use the terrible solution of molex-PCIE adapters, 17 A on the +12V rail means you'd still only have about 200W of +12V power. A 580 at load can go over 200W all by itself

Ok,thank you very much for help!

What is your actual budget? You can get a Corsair CX 550 for 325 lei, which is only $77 USD right now.

You can also get a SeaSonic S12II 520 for under $100 US equivalent.

Either are preferable to the FSP.

My budget is of 250 lei.I think that means 70 dollars.The SeaSonic S12II 520 I think I could afford it.

If you can afford the Seasonic you should go for it ... it's the better unit compared to the FSP.

Okay.I owe you both,thanks for helping me.
