Fsp hyper hp600

I'd probably recommend the most expensive, but within your budget of these three. Each has at least one PCIE 8-Pin (6+2-pin) which is designed for your graphics card.

More than likely, the power supply cannot support the graphics card. Graphic cards require power:

PCI-Ex16 supplies up to 75 watts of power.
PCIE 6-Pin supplies up to an additional 75 watts of power.
PCIE 8-Pin supplies up to an additional 150 watts of power.

Your shut downs are likely caused by your graphics card requiring more than 150 watts of power (hence why it has an 8-pin power connector). Additionally, I'm not a huge fan of adapters for power connections (just another point of failure where you REALLY do not want one). My recommendation would be to replace the power supply that has at least one of the required PCIE 8-pin power connectors.

Possibly you could, but it would be extremely unreliable if your GPU is not being supplied enough power. If your GPU is lacking a lot of power, you may not be able to run the most basic games or complete the most basic tasks for an extended period of time.
