Question My PSU doesn't have a PCI-E Cable

[rabanis]

I bought a AORUS RX 570 4GB graphics card and it needs a 8 pin connector but my PSU doesn't have any PCI-E Cables.
I have a Ryzen 3 2200g with VEGA 8 onboard graphics but I wanted to upgrade my gpu.
My PSU is ATX-500B
My motherboard - Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H V2
Can anyone suggest what should I do?
Buy a new PSU that will fit my system?
Or some sort of adapter that I could buy and use?

If the PSU doesn't have any PCIe connectors, then it wasn't really designed to run a graphics card.

Yes, you should buy a replacement PSU.

Something like an Corsair CX550 would do. Depends on what you want to spend and what is available.

in order asked

1. see number 2
2. yes
3. no. those adapters are not designed to carry that much current and the source they use (molex ) is likewise not made for the current demands of a GPU

Is that a Coolmax power supply?
I would get something like a Seasonic or Corsair around 650 watts.
I run a couple RMx Corsairs and they've been good.
Also, I wouldn't use adapters with your current PSU.
There are too many issues that can come up

Modular Connector:
1x 6-pin PCI-Express Connector;
1x 6+2-pin PCI-Express Connector;
3x Peripheral Connectors;
3x 15-pin SATA Connectors;
1x 4-pin Floppy Connector

The supply, in general, isn't all that great but it "Should" have what you need.

Is that a Coolmax or Shark Technology ATX-500? Neither is great, the Shark is downright dangerous and either should be replaced with at least a 500W of a decent brand name.

Would this be good for my build?

this is the best unit they have that is also the cheapest.
Thermaltake nor coolermaster are known for great PSU's. that unit (thermaltake 550W) only has 408W on the 12V. hard pass. it only has a 2 year warranty.
the corsair has a 5 year warranty.

the CX has 549.6W on the 12v, it actually is a 550W PSU
