New Gpu old monitor

[Niruvius]

Hi so before anything id like to thank you for your effort and to appologie in advance as i'am not native english user and have not used it in long time. Now lets get to busines

So first of i have an "old" led monitor that suport only d-sub and dvi-d dual link cable.
Rest of my pc is new and i realy don't want to change my monitor as i'am happy with it as it is.

I want to buy new gpu and i was thinking of geting rx 470 (maybe even 480 but not 100% sure on that at this moment) I play games @ 1080p and most of games i enjoy are old (some more than 15y old).

I have seen on forums people complain with rx 480 having problem with power (burning pci-e slots etc on cheap motherboards) is it true?

My pc config:
cpu: i5 6600k runing at stock speed 1.190 vcore (tryed max stable oc with 1.300vcore is 4.3)
mobo: asus z170-a
psu: antec hcg 620
ram: hyperX 4gb x2

Will my psu be sificient for rx 470 or rx 480? and will my cpu bottleneck?

Also is it worth using conversion cables like: https://www.links.hr/content/images/thumbs/000/0007342_adapter-delock-hdmi-m-na-dvi-241-z-20cm-200300283_600.jpg

It's unlikely true that they are harming motherboards, your PSU is sufficient for either, and your GPU will not bottleneck anything. However the reference 480 only has Displayport and HDMI connections, so you should wait for a model with DVI to be released. That will give you time to verify that there is no issue with damage, as I'm sure we'll know that within the week.
