I've just upgraded to a GTX 280 and I need a more powerful PSU.
Right now I am using a BFG 650W PSU, it has +12V1 - 20A and +12V2 - 20A, but I believe I need a PSU with 40A 12V's, can anyone help me find one with atleast 600W with an 8 pin connector and possibly a 6 pin connector , I'll most likely be buying from www.memoryexpress.com

Thanks alot for the answers.

well if you have enough 4-pin molex connectors, you maybe do not even have to buy a new PSU. Why don't you just get an adapter from molex to 6 or 8 pin for the GPU.

I only have one 4-pin connector and it is currently used on the motherboard, I have two 6-pin connectors which I am using a 2x 6-pin to 8-pin connector, however it is maxing out the 20 amp rails I have, and I need a more powerful and consistent 12v Rail.

My GFX Manafacturer doesn't recommend using an adapter either.

I'm going to go with the 750w Corsair PSU, will this be perfect ? I need both a 6 pin and 8 pin molex. Anyone have any prior use with one of these or used a corsair PSU before ?

Thanks alot for all the help.
