Hi i am looking at getting a gtx 1070 strix 8gb my psu is a 450w continuous antec model i have a 1 6pin and a 4pin spare but it needs an 8pin and i doubt it will fit on the gpu so which connector should i get.

my system specs: (i know the processor will bottleneck it, dont worry about it, getting an upgrade soon for my cpu)

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470S CPU @ 2.90GHz
Memory: 8gb ddr3
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (being upgraded)
PSU:Antec VP450P 450W

I'd recommend a better psu with the proper connector, something like https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fZyFf7/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii520bronze  or you could reference the PSU tier list

Im on a really tight budget is there any way of getting around this? 

If you were on a tight budget you wouldn't be buying a GTX 1070????

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