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 need 2 6 pin connectors.

Can any one spec me a good psu around the 90 pounds mark that will let me run sli or crossfire in the future.

Was thinking this but will it have enough power my sandybridge system and dual graphics cards.

Well, was going to say that this is a better PSU: XFX 750W Black Edition but it seems I'm too late!

And when it says 8pin it means it's 6+2 pin.

That is to mean, this:
