help Upgrading GPU.. Help!

[BoulderPlayz]

I'm upgrading my gtx 1050 (yuck) to an amd radeon rx 570 (not as yuck) 

I noticed that the 570 needs 6 and 8 pin connectors but the 1050 doesn't.

(I bought the PC prebuilt)

I was wondering if my PC has the connectors, if it comes in the box - and if so... where do I connect it.

My Pc is the Tornado R3 by PCspecialist if that helps

 

Edit: my PSU is a Corsair 350W.

Is it essential to meet with the recommended 450W?

Which 570 need a freaking 6+8 pin? 

Open case and check your PSU model?

Open up the PC and take a picture of the power supply and post it here, really the only way to answer your question.

Do you have a specific series, like VS, CX, etc.?

But as it is 350W I suspect it will not have dual 6+2 pin connectors. Their CX450 (450W) PSU only has a single PCIE connector too, so can't imagine this one has dual of those.

 

You probably need to upgrade your PSU as well. The CX550 or Be Quiet Pure Power 11 550W would be good options.

And keep in mind if the RX 580 or 590 isn't much more expensive it might be interesting too

Would the vs550 be good enough (and yes I’m planning now on getting the 580. thank you very much)

It would work, but if it isn't much more I would recommend a Corsair CX550 or Be Quiet Pure Power 11 over the VS550.
