Hi everyone!
I have finally made enough money to be able to afford a proper gaming PC, and after extensive browsing on the internet, I have decided to build my system around a server motherboard with 2 Xeon CPU's from eBay.
The only problem I'm facing right now, is that I'm not quite sure what type of PSU, and cables to get.
My build as of now:
Will a normal (perhaps modular) PSU do? What kind of cables will I need?
I was thinking about using this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262667603211
UPDATE:I realized that the PSU I originally wanted to buy had only 1 CPU power cord, and would not have worked with a dual CPU motherboard. So I bought an EVGA 1000W modular PSU that had 2 modular slots for CPU's.
