If anyone out there can help...I am in need of finding a good 500W or larger PS for my new P5N32-SLI deluxe. I haven't built a PC in like 4 yrs and I would prefer to ask someone who is familiar with this moboard. I plan on going SLI and I am not sure what requirements it will need other than the standard 20+4 pin main power connector. It appears I have a second 8 pin power requirement, but like I said..I just need some help. If you can offer some advice...I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I have your MB....

It NEEDS the following:

24 pin
8 pin (Thats 2 x P4 Pin)
1 Molex

Thats just for the MB..... as far as I know only server style or dual CPU style MBs need this much from a PSU.

Thus some of the PSUs that have been recomended will not surfice.

Also you want SLI.... thus a PSU with three or more 12v rails would be nice. (Nvidia website has a list of SLI "ready" PSUs)

Lets put it this way I had a 550w Tagan..... it did not meet my NEEDs
