Well, my order will be shipped tomorrow, so I'd better ring them up tomorrow and see if I can change it in time. That adapter you linked btw seems to be one 6 pin to 2 molex? But my card has two 6 pin connector sockets. I'm also wondering if the spec written for that OCZ psu has omitted to say that there's also another 6 pin connector, because in the main paragraph it does say it has 2 pci-e connectors.

Excellent post, thank you.

I have a quick question you may be able to help me with?

I'm going to start a new build soon and already have the following:

- Akasa Eclipse 62 case with front & rear 120mm fans
- XFi Fatal1ty gamer edition PCI card (with front panel & remote control)
- FSP Sparkle 700W PSU

I'm thinking of buying the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO mobo and was wondering whether my old case would accomodate this newish board and if this board will accomodate my old XFi card?

Separately will my (hardly used) FSP PSU run everything OK? I say hardly used because I bought it a while ago, I had it running for like 3 months and the mobo it was running bailed out on me.

Cheers
Daz

Great guide - going to shove this in the face of anyone else that asks me to build a system for them again - will save me a lot of time!

Brilliant guide. Just used it to build two PCs in a row one for me and one for son for Xmas.

Really handy to have everything there with Pics and it helped give me a bit of confidence with bits I may have been worried about without it.

Wow, thanks for this guide. I've been looking to replace my current POS with a new built system when I get the money. This definitely helps. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.

(I) Next align the supplied side brackets with the back plate followed by screwing them into positing. Then screw the cross bar into the side brackets. Do so by turning each of the screws in regular intervals until they are unable to be tightened.
