Modular psu compatible with both 8-pin and 4-pin connectors for boards?
I'm searching for a modular psu that fits my old PC, needing 4 pins for the motherboard and 8 pins for the new graphics card I purchased.
My current power supply only has 2x 6-pin and 2x 4-pin connectors, and they advised against using adapters.
I don't want to invest too much and might find modular options more cost-effective.
Many boards have 6+2 connectors, but I haven't found any with 8 pins :/
Thank you for your help. Please let me know if you need further details.
I think I only need around 600 watts, and the new card is a 6650xt.
I saw one listing but it shows 6+2 :/

It's an old computer, but I need to upgrade it affordably. I thought I could just buy a basic graphics card instead of spending more. The power supply is quite old, 500 watts, and only two of its six pins are 1 PCI-E while the other one is coming off the Molex connection. My budget is under £50 if possible, and I'm based in the UK.
This is the most you can get without worrying your PC will overheat

We understand the connectors through testing, and the one you shared matches an 8-pin configuration just like the others.
3x 4pin CPU, 2x 6+2pin GPU, 1x 24pin mainboard, 5x SATA, 1x molex, totaling 8pin connections.
6 plus 2 pins are the typical standard for PCIE connectors, offering greater flexibility as they can be used with either 6 or 8 pin connectors on GPUs. Beyond custom cables or extensions, finding a straight 8-pin PCIE connector is uncommon outside of these cases.
