it looked really attractive when I was buying it and it was at a good price range as well.
However when I was building my computer I found out it only had 1x PCI express connector when my GPU needed 2. The website also says it comes with 6x 4pin molex connectors, however it only came with 3 which is a shame as if I use the PCIexpress adapters which came with the GPU vender it takes up 4 molex connections and then there is nothing left for the fan, optical drive etc.
I also wanted to ask if anybody could recommend me a good PSU my budget = 65 pounds MAX.
I have looked at and researched some PSU which I think are good.
What I am worried about is if I buy one of these 2 PSU preferabaly the OCZ one as it has sleved cables and its cheaper will it be enough to power my build. My hardware is:
What do you think about Ezcool PSUs as I found one on ebuyer which is very cheap and is 700 watts, plus has 2 PCI express connectors.

hmm, you think the OCZ http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861 with only 600 W can handle my hardware, I have herd some people with i7 use that PSU and it runs fine.
You are only using a single graphic card with your system. I checked a few references. The card does not use much power. The rest of your system does not use much power either. The video card will use somewhere around 140 watts at load and the entire system including the video card will use well under 300 watts and less than 17 amps on the 12 volt rail(s) at load.
A high quality 500 to 550 watt power supply such as those made by Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and Seasonic can easily handle your system without any problems.
If you are on a budget an alternative choice would be the Antec Earthwatts EA 500. It comes with two PCIe 6 pin connectors. Here is a link to a technical review of the EA 500:
alright, but the antec PSU is quite expensive its the 650W I am ralking about and it only comes with 1 6pin PCI express. What do you guys think about the OCZ one, sleved cables and 2 PCI connetions. I really think I should go with 600W + as I want to be upgrade proff for some time in the future and buying neck to neck stuff is not god I beleive.
man its really expensive here around 97 pounds, I might buy the OCZ one. Its a big name and comes with 3 year hot swap warrently aswell, so the product has to be good. I would buy the antec one but it only has 1 PCI express. Cn anybody else suggest me a better PSU which is around 60 pounds.
