Advice needed for noob

I have no idea whatsoever when it comes to PSU's!

 

I currently have a random (unbranded I think) PSU that I got spare from work. I really wanted to upgrade my GPU to an rx580 but then realised that card needs an 8pin power lead, and my PSU only has a 6 pin.

 

What are the most affordable PSU's that have an 8 (or 6+2) pin leads on them for the GPU? Any help at all would be massively appreciated guys!

CPU: i5-4690K @ 3.5GHz || MoBo: Asus H81M-C || RAM: 16gb Kingston HyperX Blue || Cooler: Stock intel cooler || GPU: Palit GTX 1050 || PSU: Can't remember exactly but know it meets the needs of my components || Case: White Falcon Case || SSD: Kingston 120GB || Storage: WD Blue 1TB

We have a PSU tier list, check it out to see what's worth the money.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
