in theory it should be ok , I mean it's clear you have no desire to upgrade the PSU. I would just make sure to get a GTX 1650 without a six pin connector which should be most of the cheaper ones
Wait, now that I think of it. Why without a six pin connector? I have a SATA to 6 pin connector, the sata that goes to psu and 6 pin to the graphics card.

while for less demanding hardware you can get away with an adapter, you don't really know the adapter build quality as well as the unit lacking the cable is a red flag the brand/oem does not have faith in the PSU being used in such a way

a proper PSU should have all the native connectors you need (be it modular or hardwired)

I'd get the cooler master one
I would actually say the NZXT or the delta one posted later.


That NZXT is actually a rebadged Seasonic and has higher quality capacitors (Rubycon/Nippon Chemicon) vs the Coolermaster


One warning about that Delta, they are mainly known for Server lineups so they may not be excellenct in terms of low noise and everything seems to be hardwired vs modular. HOWEVER Delta was and most likely still is THE best OEM of PSUs

I've used a GTX 660 on it before and it worked perfect with the 6 pin

Oh, no I already have a M.2 NVME SSD! I use the HDD for games, the M.2 with 500gb is for windows and small games.


But, am I able to use my PSU for the rx 580? Otherwise I'll just get a 1650 from NVIDIA.
1650 is a downgrade

I already know that, I have no choice other then this sadly. Do you know anything better then a 1650 that my psu can run without any issues, 6 pin and PCIe 3.0?
