I've gone mad, as i keep changing my mind with my new build.
so instead of getting the XFX ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB.
I've desided on this

Ihave this PSU in the pic below.
Is this enough to run the card good ?

It has a 4 pin already for the graphics card. doe's this take a 8 pin also ?
As in the pic, you can see this is what i have, a 12v 4pin connector, and another 4pin connector linked beside it. (not sure why that other brown looking one is meant to be for) ?
Is this the one i use for the 8pin connector ? that's of course it takes 1 of them.

Thanks a lot.

That PSU is fine tbh, you don't really need to worry about connectors as it comes supplied with adaptors anyway.

But that P4 connector is for CPU power, the pci express ones usuall say PCI-E on them

CPU power ? So do i have to place that P4 connector on the motherboard ? As it comes from the PSU ? what's the other 2 connectors for then ?

Nope that's not the one. You don't get 4 pin connectors for gfx cards, there should be a 6-pin one with PCI-E probably written on it.

Oh yes i see lol durr.. just testing ya

edit, sorry i mean't whats the brown one for, i understand what the 12v 4pin is for, now you said it i see where it goes on my old board now...
Cheers

You need to plug the 24 pin atx in as well as the 4 or 8 pin for cpu power.

These come direct from the psu.

Ok cool.
But what about the brown redish one in the pic. doe's that have to go anywhere ?

Cheers.
