I have an xp 1.3ghz 9700 pro, 512ram setup at the moment. Very old.

I use an Enermax Active PFC EG465AX-VE(G)(FMA) 460W PSU.

On the front of the box it says 'support p4&k8. ATX 12v ver. 1.2'

Will this be ok for my new pc which will be something like:

- Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-118-AS)
- XFX GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI VIVO PCI-E
- AMD Opteron UP 165 Dual Core San Diego 1.8GHz 2MB Cache (Socket 939) - Retail (CP-151-AM) - 0551 UPMW OEM

460W sounds like a lot to me, but my only worry is - does it have the correct connectors?
I've been out of the upgrade game for a while, and I don't know if there's any *special* connections needed for the mobo/gfx/cpu or what have you - that my current PSU doesn't have.

I know my Radeon uses just a standard floppy drive power supply cable, I assume they still use this?

Thanks for any info.
It will either save me £70+ or mean I will order one and can get playing with all my bits at once :)
