Molex to PCIE 6 Pin for 5 weeks

[HexGaming5]

Hey guys
so i have no money (highschool student) and i need a gpu for my i3 2120 pc i got for free. now in 5 weeks im getting $400 from work experience for a 960 and a new coolermaster psu.
now a friend has offered me his gigabyte GTS 250 1gb which requires 1 6 pin connector which will do fine for the games i play for now. and another friend has offered me his RK-P550 to use until i get my new psu but it doesn't have a 6 pin connector so i was gonna use a multi molex to 6 pin adapter. so what i wanna know is will it be ok for 5 weeks running about 7 hours a day and 60% of the time just watching youtube
cheers guys sorry for the long backstory

That PSU has 216w on the 12v mate so no its not going to be enough.

Fuuuck well thats just fantastic now i have a good system without a half decent psu or gpu for 5 weeks. thanks for the answer anyways

since your waiting 5 weeks i would pick up a gtx 1060, should be retailing for around $250-300 and then pick up an EVGA G2 550w or a SeaSonic S12II 620W both retail around $70. That should keep you within your $400 budget and will be a rock solid foundation for a good build.

If your just watching youtube videos most of the time you can run intels on chip graphics for a short while till you can get everything bought. gaming will suffer quite a bit but at least you can use your computer.

Yeah a 1060 would be nice and a good psu for $70 would also be nice however here in Australia the parts are twice the price. getting a 1060 would add about $100 onto the price

in Australia in AUD pricing these are the prices:
the cheapest gtx 1060 is the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming 6GB and thats $399 which leaves $1 for a psu so yeah
and as for the psu im gettting: CoolerMaster B2 Series 700W and thats $99
and the 960 4gb is : $299
so yeah as much as i would love one a 1060 is not possible

RX 470 is launching in a couple of days. We'll need to wait for launch reviews, but it really should be within about 15% of the 480, nice card for 1080P. Even in Australia that should be less than $300 for a 4GB unit. Who knows what availability will be like, but I'd be waiting for one of those over a 960.

Sorry for the bad news on the PSU mate but that's life :-/
It is that bad a PSU though.

You can get a vp600 for just over $70 , not the best but still better than a b2 IMO
