GTX260, Power Supply Help!
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:

Corsair HX520W?
Might be expensive but it'll last you long if you don't have very expensive and powerful crossfire or sli setups.
Re: GTX260, Power Supply Help!
What moogle has recommended should do you fine, you could get the HX620 version if you want a bit of extra power.
Re: GTX260, Power Supply Help!
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:
