PSU upgrade for Z210 workstation

[Lozo]

So, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I have a Z210 workstation pc with the Intel Xeon E3-1230 Sandy Bridge variant. I have managed to research that the PSU is from delta and is 400w and 80+ gold. I was wondering if i would need to upgrade my PSU but i am having trouble finding an upgrade as i would need an 18 pin connector. Would a normal ATX PSU work with a 24 pin to 18 pin adapter? also i have bought a Nitro+ rx580 8gb and the suggested PSU is 500w which i need help finding.

If you were asking me, I would get a new case/PSU. The hole pattern on the mobo might be non-standard, but it would be fairly straightforward to relocate some standoffs in the new case.

Im kinda new to this whole PSU and adapter thing, so could you suggest a PSU that is compatible for the Z210 Mobo 'cause all im finding are 20+4pin and 24pin whereas the Z210 has 18 pin, or would i use an adapter?

400W is easily enough power for a RX 580, and the included Delta should be pretty good.

Are they pretty? no. are they  the best performers? no. will they last >10 years of abuse including being literally kicked around a call center? you bet they will
