psu help needed :)

[DooMeR]

Hello, i need to order a new psu for my new build but i am a bit confused to what i need.

Its my understanding that most graphcis cards need 2 6 pin pci-e connectors, yet theres a lot of psu's that dont offer this.

My current psu has 2 6 pin pci-e connectors and 2 6+2 pin connectors.

I was intrested in this psu http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-202-CM&tool=5 yet it has no 6 pin pci-e connectors only 8 pin connectors how does this work when most cards seem to be 2 6 pin connectors.

Can any one spec me a psu around the 90 pound mark that will be able to run 2 570's or 2 9950's

I just checked the spec of that PSU on the Coolmaster Website and it does have 2 x 6+2 PCIe connectors

Would not recommend the GX750W myself as I've found it to be the loudest part of my system and is known to not perform too well at high performance but if you're looking for a 750W then this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-116-AN Seems to have good reviews as well as being modular.

You are absolutely right ssddanbrown, the Cooler Master GX series is not worthy of recommendation. The Antec Truepower definitely is very good.

So is this which has just come back into stock and is also very nice and is a bit more efficient than the Antec Truepower:
XFX 750W Black Edition 80Plus Silver Modular £93

Agreed, don't by the Cooler Master, it has a large amount of ripple on the 3.3v causing severe capacitor whine on my graphics card. Read the Johnny Guru review, it actually fails ATX spec in this regard. I've just sold mine to buy a Corsair.

They actually reviewed it twice, the first one, which is the one still up on the site was harsh enough that the site admin deleted the second review which was even worse.
