    500W FSP Blue storm II PSU 80% Efficiency

    Im sure everyone has seen this on the Today Only page and I am interested in using it to power my upcoming build. Q6600, 320Mb 8800GTS, 500Gb HDD SATA, 4Gb Ram, 2 DVD-RW IDE all going in an Antec 900 Gaming Case. Is this a good PSU and does anyone know what connectors it has, I cant find any specs anywhere.

    Also is the 2Gb (2X1GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC5400 (667), 240 Pin, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12 on offer worth a punt too?

    Cheers.

    Your google must be better than mine, I went to the manufacturers website, which was quite useless, and some retailers who still couldnt give details of the cabling.

    Placed my order anyway, its just too cheap not too, thanks to scan so far my completed build should be less than £850, £150 under budget.

    Good stuff, FPS supplies are fairly reliable, you shouldn't have any problems *fingers crossed*.
