Sir, i would like to replace my gpu with Gigabyte Rx 570 4gb gaming GPU. I have come to know that this GPU requires 8 pin connector. So, I would like to know if my PSU already has a 8 pin connector or not ? And also does my system support RX 570 4gb GPU ?

Yes, your computer can support an RX 570. It is 600W and has a PCI-E connector. From what I know of, it does not have an 8 pin connector, but you can get a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter quite easily.

But is this safe to use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter ? Wont it may cause any sort of power problem in future?

A better option would be to just check your PSU yourself if it has an 8 pin connector, because I don't have your specific system. If it does not, then you may need a better PSU.

One of my online friend suggest me to go with GTX 1650 which would be better option in my case as this gpu doesn't need any external power supply and runs on slot power only. And i also have not to compromise in gaming much but only in fps while opting this gpu in place of Rx 570. What do you think, sir ?

Go for it! A GTX 1650 uses less power while providing the same level of performance as an RX 570.

@aniforever,

It has at least one 6+2 PCIe power plug. Go look.

Yes sir, you are right. Rx 570 need 8 pin power connector while GTX 1650 requires no pin power connector but only slot power, so i will now go with GTX 1650.
