EVGA P55 FTW power supply

[themidnightrider13]

thinking about buying this MB, but i only have a 550w power supply...the MB says is rated for a 600 psupply.
I do not plan on major oclocking. And will only be running 1 nvidia 9600 card for now. Will i be able to run this mb of my current p supply?

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

Yeah u can use that PSU for the mobo BUT u need buy this because the 12V connector of ur mobo is 8 pin and ur PSU only have a 12V 4 pin connector.
