I like the Antec PSU because it is modular, my friend has one and he really likes it. It appears that the EVGA 680i SLI takes an 8-pin CPU power, I don't see the Antec as having one, I assume that means it won't work? Which should I get?

As soon as I get a solid answer I am ordering, thanks for your help guys.

Could I plug the 2xP4 connectors from the antec into the 8 pint slot or does it not work that way. Sorry to bump my own thread again but I have been sitting here looking at the screen for the last few hours waiting to purchase this. It is a simple matter really.

An 8 pin mobo will work with a 4 pin power supply. the extra 4 pins are just for additional power but not required.

The Antec TruePower Trio 650w DEFINITELY has the 8 pin EPS connector. I just installed one Tuesday and saw it.
