So I have an Nvidia GTX 960 SSC and it requires an 8pin PCI-e slot. I don't have that on my PSU which is an Antec Neo HE500 (500W). Though, I do have one 6pin PCI-e cable. My PSU is modular so I was wondering if I should buy another 6pin PCI-e cable so I could use the dual 6pin PCI-e to 8pin PCI-e adapter that the GPU came with or just go with a whole new PSU? If I am to go with a whole new PSU, what PSU should I get that will also meet the price ranges of $40-65? Thanks in advance!

P.S. The PSU normally comes with 2 6pin PCI-e cables but I bought this used off craigslist awhile back and I didn't know it came with 2. The guy I bought it off of only sold it to me with one 6pin PCI-e cable.
