Power supply question

[aidanjt]

Yeah, overclocking wouldn't be the best of ideas.

PCIe connectors come in 6 (2 rows of 3 pin stack connector) or 8/6+2 (2 rows of 4/3+1) pin variety. I'm assuming you're talking about the VGA molex connectors, which will do the job (plus a molex->PCIe adaptor).

Sorry I meant 6 pin. Need sleep.

So from what everyone's saying it should work to get everything set up and running but replace ASAP?

What sort of amperage should I be looking for for this system?

[aidanjt]

It'll work fine, with plenty of room to spare, 18A on a 12v rail would be enough to get the system running, 28A is plenty of current. I'd only avoid insane overclocking attempts.

Thanks for your advice. System will be getting built when I've replaced the cooler with one that actually fits in the case

What sort of wattage/amperage would I need to go SLi with 3 hard drives, few fans, maybe some lights, and moderate overclocking?

336W of DC juice is 'weak'? Try licking that and see how your tongue feels.

@OP: Yes, your power supply is more than enough.

haha, i agree!

If you're thinking of sticking a 2nd gtx260 in there then something decent around 600-650w
