Hey everyone,
Right now I am running an Alienware with the "newer" style case. It's an older system (circa 2007) and I have upgraded the motherboard, CPU, and most recently the graphics card.
I mistakenly bought a eVGA 780i SLI FTW, which does 3-Way SLI, but alas I purchased only a single ATI 4890 .
Anyway, with the release of the next generation of DX11 cards I want to make the move back over to the Nvidia side of things so that I can start taking advantage of this motherboard I wasted money on. But here is the catch:

700 Watts, but it's a cheap one so it probably only really puts out 200 Watts
This power supply only has FOUR 6 PIN Power connectors. The new graphics cards use the 8 pin power connectors, and I can't even imagine what the DX11 cards will use. I've read elsewhere that using the molex to 6 PIN to 8 PIN power adapters are akin to committing murder, so I want to avoid the power adapters.
So my question to you guys is what type of power supply do I need to get that will both
Summary:
■Fit In My Case? (Alienware's "new" style case, circa 2007)
■Allow me to run Nvidia's DX11 cards in SLI? (Probably will need FOUR 8 Pins?)
■Will the DX11 cards work in SLI using the old eVGA 780i SLI FTW?
I sincerely appreciate the help!
