Hey guys i decided to try to build my first pc by upgrading an old 2008 HP a6607c. I just realized that my RX 460 doesnt have a 6 pin power slot and it would have to draw all its power from the pre-2008 MCP61PM-HM (Nettle3) motherboard. http://

Should i start freaking out and return the rx460 or finish the build with the rx460 just being powered by the motherboard?
The RX is said to pull 150W.
I have a new 500W power supply.
Thanks for any replies!!!!
