There are some PSUs that won't work with older mobos. You may need to check with the PSU suppliers for your specific mobo model.

When looking for a new PSU you can get objective test reviews of specific models from www.jonnyguru.com or www.hardwaresecrets.com, Tom's as the quality of PSUs can vary by model even of the same brand.

Thanks for the quick anwsers, The rocketfish 500W is from Best buy and brand new, I got it to test because I coulnd wait for my corsair 650TX that is on the way (hopefully it will work, this why im asking question is to not get the suprise that it will no show any display), Im returning the rocket fish anyways, what version of ATX am I looking for?? I got a biostar g31 m7 te V6.4/6.5, pretty standard mobo.

every thing fires up, lights, fans, gpu fans, harddrive, just no video signal with the new or old card
