So i recently bought a rx590 wich requires both a 6pin and an 8pin conector
My psu is 530 watt with 2x (2sata after one molex 4pin)
So i tried to make it work with one sata to 6pin and one molex to 8 pin adapter and it wont post with neither of them plugged in
 
Solution
Anytime you are using adapters to 6 or 8pin you are going to have an issue. First this isn't what they are used for and if your PSU doesn't have these you are risking an electrical fire. The lack of adapters means this is a very low end PSU. You should just buy a good quality 550 or 650W PSU and you will be fine. What country are you in?

You should've bought a new PSU before buying a new graphics card.

Using a garbage PSU is never a good idea.
