1 x 4Pin & 8pin ATX12V Connector 
4 x 5Pin SATA Connector
2 x 4Pin Peripheral Connector (Quick-release)
1 x 4Pin Floppy Connector
1 x 6Pin PCI-Express Connector

Output: 500W Max. +3.3V@22A, +5V@16A, +12V1@15A, +12V2@16A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2.5A

my gpu is an RX 580 8 GB. (8+6 pin)

will it be okay if I use 2 molex connectors with an adapter to get an 8 pin. I am really poor and I don’t have money for a new PSU.

here is my case https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811147193?m_ver=1

No. I don't know what PSU you're talking about, but if it doesn't have a PCIe 8pin connector, it's going to be crap, or really old.

 

Saying you're poor, doesn't make it suddenly okay to use crap PSU.

I don't think that PSU is suitable for your GPU.. it seems like it's either old or very low quality which is exactly what you don't want from a PSU.

Save up and get a CX550M from Corsair, if you wanna use this PSU it might die on you and take out several components with it

Why not just tell us the name instead of the parameters?

It doesn't really have a name, as far as I can tell it's probably an unbranded PSU included in a Rosewill case. 

Edit: The aforementioned PSU's model number is 'DR-8500BTX'

The model:DR-8500BTX

What is the specific name?

 

 

You can allways grab an rx 570 and a cx550 (2017) from corsair

It’s fine if it doesn’t work, but this is my first pc build, I have everything planned out, and I’ve read manuals countless times and watched many videos. I just want to play real games, I am a kid, have been playing crappy mobile games all my life. If my PSU isn’t enough, what’s a good budget friendly option?

[Herman Mcpootis]

just get a cheaper used GPU and pony up for a better PSU, the potential cost if that thing blows up and kills something would be way more than the cost of a new PSU.

I mentioned a good budget friendly option

 

The cx550 (2017) from corsair (not the modular one)

 

And then a rx 570 and the total cost will be exactly the same or less

So will this work at all, like any chance? And also how does starcoaster know  it can only draw 75w from the gpu?
