I'm planning out a Dual socket CPU build, and need a PSU to handle it. This build will be for a DAW / Video Editing workstation, however it will be in a standard Mid to Mid-Full tower.

Total Drives in system will be 2 DVD/Blueray drives & 3 harddrives

All the PSUs I've checked on newegg only have 1-8pin CPU connector.
A) Is there a PSU that will fit my needs.
B) The PCI-E 8pin power connectors, would one of those work safely?
C) I've also seen a 2 molex to 1 8 pin adapter. would one of those work safely?
 
1) Yes depending on what exact motherboard you're planning to use.
2) No. The 8Pin PCI-E and 8 Pin EPS12V connector are different.
3) If it's a two molex to 8Pin EPS12V connector, yes. if two molex to 8Pin PCI-E connector, no.
 
The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910W comes to mind as a PSU with two EPS12V connectors. It would be plenty for your system, if you're willing to look at that price range.
 
nm, found them on new egg by looking for all the eps adapters. Thanks again guys!
