Hello,
My 8800 gtx OC recently burned out and i was thinking of upgrading to a gtx 560(femi) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130661

The thing is i noticed the new cards psu pin slots have a different shape than any of the connectors coming out of the PSU. My PSU is about 4 years old now, this one http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?S=1207&ID=1504#Tab1
Is there anyway get the psu working with the new card or will i need a new psu?

For reference, 8800gtx pin slots: srr
rrs

gtx 560 pin slots: ssr
rrs
 
Solution
Leave that, aren't standard 6-pin ATX not changed since long time ago? If the difference is that then leave it, I don't think It will make any changes in the connectors.
