Dell optiplex 7020 with RX560 power connectors

[cheeseballzzzzz]

Hi there 
this has probable been asked a million times but i cant find a fix

I have a dell optipex 7020 (Big one) and i have a gigabyte RX560 on the way but i have no way to power the gpu as it requires a 6 pin connector Is there a way to Power this without buying a new PSU for the the next 2 or so months.
i thought of a 2x sata to 6pin connector but from what i have seen this can lead to fires and other data loss issues.
If anyone has a solution im open ears Thanks in advance

There isn't really any other choice other than SATA to 6pin or Molex to 6pin (if the PSU has molex). The other choice would be just getting a GPU without any power connectors, or using another PSU.

since your PSU don't have PCIE power cable then your only choice left is Sata to PCIE or Molex to PCIE power cable

So getting a Sata to 6 pin will be ok for the next 2 or so months will be fine? until i can get a new PSU

Should be completely fine. After all the RX560 is a 75W card so it'll get most of it's power from the PCIE slot. Your model might just have higher clock speeds requiring the extra power connector.

Either will work but I suggest 2xsata just in case.
