Hey all, Im upgrading my AGP Card and the X1950GT, 7800GS, or XFX 7600GT has caught my eye. Ive been doing a ton of research on all of them, my biggest concern is my power supply and if it can run them. The X1950GT has 2 Molex Connectors which worries me. Out of these 3, what would be my best bet for performance and what my PSU can power up.

My PSU is as follows:
Antec 430W Power Supply

DC Output +5v / +12V / +3.3V / -5V / -12v/ +5v SB

Max 36A / 26A / 28A /0.5A/ 1.0A/ 2.0A

Min 0A/ 0.8A/ 0A / 0A / 0A / 0A

ok thank you a couple of people told me i would have problems running the X1950GT i had my heart set on that particular card. Dont want to take a bad chance since I dont have the money to replace the PSU. I also couldnt find the min Amp req for that card =/

Wish i could not enough $$ right now. The 1950PRO is over 200$ and 200$ is all i can work with right now. After this last AGP card ill upgrade to PCI-e in the future. As for the Geforce's well did a bit of reading and i hear the X1650XT out performs them. I guess i can order a 1950GT and if it has problems ill send it back and get another card thanks for the help though =)
