[SOLVED] PSU didn't come with a cable to power the GPU

I bought a pc case which comes with a non-modular power supply. However, there isn't a 6/8 pin power cable for the graphics card. What would be the best way around this issue and power my gpu?

(Although there is this cable, but I am not sure what it does exactly (https://postimg.cc/7bDkx8YY)).

99.9% of the time, a PSU that comes with a case is complete garbage, like a waiter's hair that is in your soup. If there are no PCIE cables with that PSU, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that this is one of the exceptions.

If anything, I'd be thankful that it didn't have the proper cables; if something of this quality did, you might be in the market for a new RX 580. A Corsair CX 450 is typically the cheapest PSU I'd ever bother turning on this rig with and in truth, I'd be more comfortable with a 550.
The only way is to replace that PSU with one that will actually power your equipment.

A list of all your parts would help for someone to recommend a good one.

Thanks for the reply.
