Hi guys, looking for a bit of guidance, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-255-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752 (Asus ATI Radeon 6950)

I have this mobo http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3097#ov (Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 rev. 2.0)

I am currently a 580 watt hiper psu. Unfortunately I have had to use an adaptor cable which uses no less than 3, yes 3, of my 6 modular outputs to cover the additional power the mobo requires, meaning I dont really have enough outputs to power the new card properly :(

So I'm going to need a new PSU, I don't want to spend all the money in the galaxy so something middle of the range for what I'm looking at. I game a lot, only have one hard drive and one cd drive so no big power requirements, I guess something in the region of 600w upwards?


All constructive input welcome and appreciated, any questions just ask :)


cheers in advance
