Go to solution Solved by STRMfrmXMN,

So i got the gpu today and I don't have 2nd molex to connect 2x Molex to 6pin Pci-E cable so i was thinking to get Serial ATA to molex and connect that to 2xmolex to 6pin Pci-e cable?

I mean is that possible? 

Don't even bother hooking up adapters to a PSU that can't even handle the heat from a GPU. It's time for a new PSU yo.

If get something a bit more powerful, used 270x's go for a good price and like four more gigs of ram

he is right more ram and a newer gpu would be better I think the psu would have no problems check with some psu calculator software like:

This is my rig atm 

 

CPU: A6-6400k

MOBO: Asus a-55BM-K

RAM 4GB of Fury X

HDD:500gb

 

I skipped GPU part because I'm using integrated GPU, but I wanted to get 7850 will power supply be a problem?

550W Rhino RX-550PA, 6pin PCIE/12cm fan/Sleeve cables/black 

Never heard of that PSU, probably not a good sign. 

 

Get an XFX TS, Antec HCG, EVGA B2, or Seasonic S12

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
