I'm ready to order a new GPU and have decided to go with this (unless someone can recommend anything better at that price) http://www.ebuyer.com/519311-msi-gtx-760-twinfrozr-oc-2gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-n760-tf-2gd5-oc

I have this PSU, I know it has enough power to run it but reading the comments on ebuyer someone mentioned it requires a 8pin connector my PSU only has 6x2 connectors. I'll be very dissapointed in this PSU if it can't run this card as I've not long had it. http://www.cclonline.com/product/124316/CP-9020055-UK/Power-Supplies/Corsair-RM750-RM-Series-750-Watt-Fully-Modular-Power-Supply-Unit-80-PLUS-Gold-Certified-/PSU0607/?Switch=Exc

That combination will definitely work, RM series power supplies are very good and there is definitely enough amperage on the 12v rail for a mid range GPU like the 760, you might even be able to SLI on that, although it would be borderline.

Cheers Jason, but what about that 8pin connector it requires? I'm a tad confused (or maybe i should digout my motherboard box theres probably a 8pin cable in there thats 6pin one side and 8 pin the other but im guessing.

There should be an 8 pin cable with the RM750, it might be a 6+2 connector, where the extra 2 pins are separate from the main 6 pin connector, in this case you should just push the 2 pins in next to the 6 pin connector.
