Dammit.

So I just received a 1660 Super which needs to be connected to an 8 pin connector. My PSU has only 6, which was sufficient for my old 1050 GPU.

I guess using some kind of 6 to 8 adapter is pretty dumb considering this 1660 runs on 125 watt and my only option is replacing my PSU?

Edit:
This is my power unit:
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500 W

There are all kind of connectors on this unit, amongst others two eight pin red coloured cable connection ports. For a noob like me it makes sense to just order a cable to put it one of those 8 pins connectors to connect with my GPU and voila everything is fine or will my newly build explode or something comparable
