Find one of the marginally better ones that are dual molex to 8 pin, but other than that it's fine. I had to use a dual molex -> 8pin adapter for a while in my main build.

 

Though, as soon as you can, buy a new PSU

you really think a possibly unbranded PSU that has no 8pin connector will support a 580? that's a quite bold statement.

 

If it doesn't has the connector there must be a reason.

You shouldn't, this is a very bad idea... You should buy a new PSU and the RX570, like a CX450M would be perfect already, if you can't afford it right now then it's better to wait... unless you're such hurry the cheapest GTX 1650 you can find become a way to go..

whats the difference between this and the 580, why not go for the 580 being that its a 8gb DDR5 cuz right now the GPU i got is good not the best lol

could you be much more specific? Actually, attaching a pcpartpicker list would help a lot.

500W that does not have any pci-e power connector sounds pretty awful, a FX 4300 will bottleneck the RX 570 as well... No easy upgrade path here for so little, maybe a GT 1030 GDDR5 verision since it's still cheaper than the RX 570/GTX 1650 and won't present as heave of a bottleneck.

Must be a really basic one or an old model though, you can tell by the wattage being 500 and not 550 or 450 like newer or known models

Ah the infamous Apevia rears its ugly head again. From personal experience and the advice of the PSU crowd on the forum, I can safely tell you there isn't a single Apevia branded PSU worth using.

 

Since you wanted to be modest when you first got the PC, not it's time to treat yourself to something nice. An RX 570 from eBay is a first step, accompanied by your choice of decent PSU. Check out the PSU tier list to find out what's worth your hard earned money. After that, Ryzen 3000 processors will be out soon, which means odl Ryzen processors will be available on the cheap. Replace your processor, ram, and motherboard with one of those.

Alright will do seems like the best thing to do would either be save up and build from the ground up or do as you said, or just wait until my brother gets a new pc cuz he has a beast of a pc a bit old but up to date with triple a titles

you could try your luck with the one in this video:

Sell your R7 240 on eBay, buy a used RX 570 and a Corsair CX power supply:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na

It all fits in your $120 budget

[BmanGames]

What if i used the the 240 as a nother GPU would that be worth it or just sell it

[BmanGames]

also would this be a 6pin or an 8pin connector https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131717&ignorebbr=1&source=region&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Cards+-+AMD%2FATI-_-N82E16814131717&gclid=CjwKCAjw-4_mBRBuEiwA5xnFILVypbGZMUB_iq8ZenZNkgz9vSVdo3cSkK7b1ipNeKdWXX4oRqKRThoCvUoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
