Hello,

Recently I purchased an RX 480 graphics card from MSI and a listed requirement on the box is an 8-pin PCI-E power connector.

My power supply is the following: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817374049

In particular, only one 6-pin PCI-E connector is listed in the specifications. Is there any way to work around this issue and connect the card (safely) without replacing the power supply entirely? If there isn't, any recommendations for a suitable power supply would be appreciated. Thanks.
