I have a 8800 gts 356
2 x 1gig ddr2 6400 800mhx
E6420
2 sata drivers and one ide

I also need a 6pin for the gts.

Someon recommended the ocz 700?

Someone suggest one i shoudl go for? Maybe get in a shop as im impatient

THanks
 
Would the ocz 700 be a good one for the futuire then?

The reason i need a new one is that my current mb has a 24 pin power point on it. And my antec 550w only has a 20 pin socket for it.

Do i need a new power supply or can i get an adaptor?

See adaptor.

I've not seen people using these lately, so can't say if it would work or not.
With older PSUs, you had like one 12Volt rail @ 30A where as the newer ones have like 12V1 +12V2 +12V3 all @ 18A.

It's a more balanced design to match ATX12V v2.2.

Thinking...you may need another adaptor as newer stuff likes 2 X 12V ATX.
 
So i have an antec truepower 550w. Do i get an adaptor? Or upgrade to a new power supply?

If so which do I go for? Someone said the ocz700w,

Would a 600w be ok for me?
