Hi well its that time of year and I thought I'd treat myself to a new GPU, specifically the new EVGA GTX260 but my current power supply hasn't got PCI-E power ports, and I'm pretty sure I needed at least two to power this card.
Can anyone suggest me a good reliable PSU which can support this card in addition to:
MOBO: ASUS P5N-E SLI
CPU: Intel Quad Core (Q6600)@2.4Ghz
RAM: 3GB, DDR2 OCZ Platinum
Much thanks, Merry Xmas.:mrgreen:
merry xmas :D
Whats your budget?
This would do the job nicely if you dont want to spend too much

Well I have £240 but my relatives have yet to deliver.
Corsair HX520W?
Might be expensive but it'll last you long if you don't have very expensive and powerful crossfire or sli setups.
What moogle has recommended should do you fine, you could get the HX620 version if you want a bit of extra power.
It has got ANY PCI-E power connectors? or it has just one, and you need another one?
If you tell us the wattage of your current one, you might be able to just get a 4pin molex to a 6pin adaptor.
If I'm completely off the mark then Im sure a Corsair 520 watt would be ample =]
I have a cheap stock 700W atm and it has no PCI-E PPs

A second vote for the HX520W - it is also very quiet too!!

If you do not want a modular PSU the 650w Corsair TX650 is also highly regarded:

If you want to spend less than 60 quid the 525w Enermax PRO82+ will do the trick if you do not want to do SLI:

There is also this 1000w OCZ PSU for under 80 quid which has got excellent reviews:
