hi everyone, i'm new to this so sorry if I miss out some information or something. I wondered if someone could give me a bit of help regarding my new build and my existing PSU. I've ordered a core i7 920, asus P6T motherboard, 6gb Corsair XMS3 13333mhz memory and an Nvidia GTX 280 graphics card. i'm just wondering if my existing PSU, a JN-600-AP 600W would be sufficient. If anyone could give me a bit of advice I'd be really gr ateful. if Ido need a new pSU, what would you recommend? I really haven't got a lot left after my new build so I'd have no more than about £75-£80 for one if I need one. Thanks.

Yes pastymuncher, that's the PSU i've got. I've done a bit of research and it seems the GTX 280 requires 40A over the 12V rails. my PSU provides 36A over them. I've seen some adaptors which I could use which convert 2 x 4 pin molex to 6 pin pcie. is it worth investing about £10 in one of those or am I just better off getting a new PSU?
