Hello everyone. This is my first post on here. Please forgive me if this post isn't where it should be.
Anyways, I'm upgrading my Video Card to an EVGA 9800 GT, however I'm going to need to upgrade my PSU as well. Here is the one I'm thinking of getting. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702010
This PSU appears to have enough amperage & wattage for my system. What I am confused about are the wires. I know I will have enough SATA and Molex connecters, plus the PCI 6 pin power chord. Are there more connectors that I should consider? I don't know how universal these PSU are. Thanks for any help, and here is a little info. on my system.

Acer Aspire E-380
nforce 430
geforce 6150 SE (integrated)
AMD Athlon 64 x 2 4400+
2 Gg RAM
(current PSU is 250 watt)

PS. I use 1 hard drive/1 dvd-rom drive

I'm not sure about that 9800GT in that system, the CPU might bottleneck it but I'm not sure.

On the TD USA website it says the system runs on a 300W PSU. I am not sure if there are different versions of this copmuter with bigger/smaller PSU's. Can you please get the amperage on the 12V rail/s for us? This is vital for any upgrade.

A CPU upgrade would help, I think your system handles up to the AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+ processor.
