[crazyguy_60]

Here's a few of questions about the Leaftek GTX 280:
■ How much power will I need to power the card?
■ How many power cables does it require?
■ Could you show me an affordable and reliable PSU to power a GTX 280?

A good 500w would be enough
It uses 2 connectors not sure if its 2x6pin or 1x6pin and 1x8pin

A GTX280 OC uses about 200watts at load, manufacturers recommend at least a 575w power supply with a 8pin and a 6pin PCIe connector. This Antec EA650w Earthwatts at $60 with free shipping would be a good option.

Chookmans Corsair 620w would be a good choice for a modular supply.
