Changing graphics card

[Netcancer]

Hey guys! I just got a lil' problem and friend told me to come on here. 2 years ago, I got this machine from ibuypower, as I was too lazy to build it. However, I came to change the graphics card today(MSi GTX970 Gaming) and upgrade it to a new one (MSI Gaming X 8G 1070). Installation went fine, as I had check for compatibility and power consumption... except for one detail. I need a 6-pin and a 8-pin and currently have two 6-pin conectors... My psu has no other connectors except for a 4 pin connector... I would love to know if changing my PSU is the only solution I have... I can,t put the 970 back in because I promised to sell it to a friend and would rather trash the whole system than go back on my word... Here is supplementary info conecerning the system itself:

 

Mobo: AsRock 97 Anniversary

Ram: 16GB

CPU: i7-4790k

I also joined some picture of the system(Including the psu for any who should need it)

 

Thanks a bunch

PS: Time is not of the essence, as i have two-screen setup running on the lastest MSI Phantom. That means i can wait for new parts to arrive or people to find more extravagant solutions.

If I remember correctly, there are (cheap) adapters/converters, which can turn a molex plug into an 8-pin for your GPU. (maybe also for 6 to 8 pin, not sure)

for sure a new psu would do you good, no need to dump a fortune into one. not like you're powering 3 cards and a million hdd's and fans.

 

Just to get you gaming asap, do you have any unused molex cables? Cards usually come with a set so you can get a 6pin out of them. then a dual 6 to 8pin adapter. Pretty sure my msi 1080ek came with a set of each in the box

Honestly... I'd get a new PSU, like a CX450M (make sure it's grey-label). Mainly because I've never heard of Allieo or whatever that company is called, and it being a 500W PSU suggests to me that it uses a really bad OEM. I mean, sure, you can use molex to PCIe adapters, but I'd highly advise for a new PSU.

I'd recommend an EVGA GQ 650W. It turns its fan off if below 50% tdp

Not sure if you're in the US, but if you are - a quick stop at Bestbuy,

they've got a cx750m for 80 bucks

even a thermaltake 600w for 46 bucks

 

Just something to cover you - i hate the feeling of being 'shorted' after spending a bundle on stuff

 

I recently finished a nas build and found out all my spare sata data cables were too short  had to run 2 hours back to microcenter to get the right ones
