Yes. Bear in mind you will need one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI-E power connector though.

Hmm..... theres is 6+2 and 6 pin available

Yeah that should be fine, a 6+2 pin fulfills the function of a 6-pin or an 8-pin

Just fitted a BFG superclocked version of GTX280 & it plays maxed out Crysis etc with no problems with my Corsair 650 PSU

Altho the 280 has the two imputs as mentioned above they both came with a splitter & needed two dedicated PCI-E cables into the 8 pin socket & two 12v molex imputs into the six pin & this gave me a minor problem trying to find an unused one & I ended up unplugging a rarely used hardrive.

I swapped out a 9800GX2 & the FPS difference is considerable
