Enough power?

I don't see a 6-pin PCI-E video connector on that power supply.

well i used the case in my older system with a PCIE video card.
Click to expand...

Older PCI-E vidio cards pulled the extra power they needed through a 4 pin molex or two.
Newer PCI-E vidio cards pull the extra power through a 6 pin PCIE conector which has 3x 12v & 3x ground wires in it.

Luck ......... :D
 
okay well it'll either cut it close or not work at all...

so I decided to purchase a new one.


I'm not going to overclock or anything special.


What would be the cheapest, reliable PSU would run that specific system.
 
you would be asking for trouble using that PSU.... they are fine for internet browsing etc but if you game and start straining it even the slightest they tend to die super easily.

i would go for a corsair hx520.....
 
That PSU will work more than fine on your system. I had one powering a C2D, 8800GTS, Two SATA Drives, Two Optical, Sound Card, 4 Sticks of DDR800, USB Perepherals, and a card reader.

Although, I do recomend that you get a reliable PSU as this one shouldn't be trusted on a higher end machine.
