Dual 6-pin to 8-pin

[Madais]

Hey!

I am upgrading my GPU which has dual 6-pin connector to a R9 380 which has single eight pin connector. How do I connect the new GPU?

My PSU is Altis AS550 ATX

Just get this one: http://www.amazon.com/8-Pin-Dual-6/dp/B00M49SELW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1461947596&sr=8-6&keywords=6+pin+to+8+pin

There are others that only require one 6 pin.

Only problem is that they do not ship to my country and I haven't been able to find any here.

Psu is weak(only 420w max on 12v rail) and low quality using it to power a 380 would be ill advised. I suggest buying a better quality psu.

Do you have any suggestions for a budget psu?

Depends on your location. In the US the 550w Xfx or the 520w Seasonic are usually the best budger units. If you dont mind a mail in rebate you can usually get a great deal on a 750w Evga B2.

Thanks, those are pretty good and affordable units, I'll keep them on mind.
However, I calculated my power consumption with an online calculator and it says that with my current build my load wattage is 310W and recommended wattage is 360W. Shouldn't my current PSU be enough?

Although, I might have to buy a new PSU as 2x6-pin => 8-pin adapters are pretty much non-existent where I live.

It's not just about wattage, quality is very low. Low enough that the PSU posses a danger to other parts in the system. With the load you are going to put on it it's a disaster waiting to happen. Low quality PSUs are like time bombs with a random number generator as a timer. It may last awhile it may fail as soon as its powered up and when it does fail it can take everything else in the system with i and the more load you put on it the faster the number generator cycles.
