I recently purchased a SeaSonic SS-500HM Active PFC F3 power supply, and I am in need of two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. I bought it off ebay, and it didn't come with any (luckily only 23.99$). I would just keep using my Corsair CX430, but I upgraded to power my new IceQ HD7950 from HIS (not the x2 dual fan version). Does anyone know where I could find cables compatible with this PSU for a decent price? Or should I just buy a Corsair CX600M from Newegg for 34.99$? Would the CX600 be better for my system? Also if anyone knows of any good cases bigger than the Rosewill Galaxy 03 for a good price (under 100$ but closer to 50$ would be nice) I would be much obliged. Thanks.

Rig: Core i5-3470 3.2Ghz Quad Core Overclocked to 3.9Ghz, HIS HD7950 IceQ (may do some light/medium overclocking in the future), ASRock Z75 Pro3 ATX Mobo, G.Skill Ripjaw X 2x4Gb DDR3-1600Mhz, Corsair Hydro H80i, WD Caviar Blue 640Gb HDD, Rosewill Galaxy-03 ATX Mid Tower, Cooler Master Excalibur 120mm & 2xRosewill 120mm Case Fans, Asus 12x BluRay R/W Opti, Razer Lycosa Keyboard, Razer Abyssus Mirror Ed. Mouse, Rosewill N150HG Wifi Adapter, Logitech F310 Gamepad, (Possibly a SoundBlaster ZX also)

1. You could contact Seasonic for a source of replacement 6 pin leads.
If you have molex leads, you can use some molex to 6 pin adapters to do the job.
They are cheap.

2. Corsair CX600 would do the job, but I suggest you find a better quality unit in the 620-650w range.
You are then able to accommodate a future graphics card upgrade.
Don't chase modular or gold rating at higher prices.

3. Why do you want a bigger case?
I like Antec cases, the GX500 is $30 after rebate:

I would like a bigger case because the one I have currently is somewhat cramped, espically with the fat 7950 in it, though everything fits. The GX500 looks pretty nice, and I've heard good about Antec. I guess I will have to contact SeaSonic. I read another thread where someone had asked and SS said Antron Electronics, I just thought I'd ask if anyone knew of another place. I have one of those molex to 6pin adapters, I would just prefer not to use all adapters on my gfx card. The reason I considered the CX600M was because it is on sale 34.99$ on Newegg for Black November (which is a pretty good deal). I don't really have a lot of money, so the cheaper the better (but still high quality, which is why I got the SeaSonic). If my Rig would run fine on the SS-500HM using adapters on the 7950, I'll do that. Would that all run stable during taxing gaming or media usage? Though, if you know of any cheaper PSUs (50$-0$ but prefer closer to 35$ like the CX) better than the SS-500HM or CX600M, a link would be lovely. I will buy from eBay, as most of my PC parts came from there (CPU, RAM, Mobo, GFX Card, PSU) and all have worked mostly flawlessly. Other than my current problem and the CPU, which had an overheating problem when I first bought it, though that was fixed by the H80i.
