[SOLVED] Im looking to buy a rx 590 but on the website it says it needs a 6pin +8pin connection. I only have a 6pin right now on my 550W power supply.

Can i buy a cable so that i can use the psu on the gfx card or do i need a new psu because it doesnt have enough cables coming out of it? Thanks in advance

You have to buy a power supply also.

I already have a power supply but there is only a 6pin connection coming out of it and i need a 6pin + 8pin

Yes, you need a new PSU.

So i need to look for a power supply that says it has both?

Yes, so you have to buy a NEW power supply that has the correct power connections. Your current power supply is insufficient for your proposed graphics card.

Any good quality power supply of sufficient wattage will have the needed outputs.

Key word - good quality.
